I was recently one of the artists in THE AUDACITY, a group show exploring the female gaze and taking up space. Curated by London-based performer and artist Stephanie Leigh Rose, STEFDIES with Friends: THE AUDACITY was a bold and unfiltered exploration of the female gaze—a visual reclaiming of power, presence, and public space.

Do Ho Suh at Tate Modern. Post 2 of 2.
