Curators

The Women House / Casa de Mulheres Project was conceived in 2024, by Brazilian visual artist Neyde Lantyer (based in the Netherlands) and Uruguayan architect, scholar and curator Alejandra Muñoz ((based in Brazil) as a space for imagining alternative futures within the arts. The initiative seeks to challenge the persistent marginalisation of women’s artistic contributions in the global art system by amplifying voices historically relegated to the periphery of dominant narratives. Grounded in an intersectional framework, the project affirms the creative, intellectual and political centrality of women within contemporary artistic production.
