Kates Ferri Projects is pleased to present Embodied narratives, a group exhibition curated by Micaela Giovannotti bringing together eleven contemporary artists who transform the human body into a language of storytelling, emotion, and radical reimagining. Opening March 6, 2026, the exhibition features painting, sculpture, ceramics, textile art, and video by Shirin Abedinirad, Dario Carratta, Krizia Galfo, Noormah Jamal, Julia Kunin, Turiya Magadlela, Tori Pounds, Zoe Schweiger, Adelisa Selimbasic, Soraya Sharghi, and Boris Torres.

Opening in anticipation of International Women's Day on March 8, the exhibition amplifies the voices of women artists from across the globe, including Bosnia, Iran, Italy, South Africa, UK and the United States, whose works reclaim the body as a site of power, resistance, and self-determination.

In an era of digital disembodiment and AI-generated imagery, Embodied Narratives reaffirms the body as a vital, unstable, and poetic archive: a site where personal and collective memory, cultural mythology, and lived experience converge. Each artist approaches the figure not as static representation but as living narrative: flesh that remembers, transforms, and resists.

The artists in this exhibition are fully invested as protagonists, activists, advocates standing directly in front of their work. Their presence is palpable: in the visible skill and technical mastery, in the unmistakable personal lens through which each body is rendered, and in the urgent conviction that these are not mere images but testimonies. These works are deeply personal acts of witnessing, reclamation, and reimagining.
