A nomadic platform for exhibitions within Treehouse NDSM. Each month, a different project in a different empty space. In April, Marcela Perrusquia presents "V.O.W: Voices of Women", an evolving exhibition that amplifies women’s resistance through art, storytelling, and collective memory.
5th EDITION | “V.O.W: Voices of Women” by resident Marcela Perrusquia
Step into "V.O.W: Voices of Women" is a project rooted in sisterhood, defiance, and collective action, aiming to challenge oppressive systems through art and storytelling. As a Mexican visual artist living in the Netherlands, I seek to amplify these narratives on a global scale. Women across the world continue to face systemic barriers, including limited opportunities, political and social suppression, and extreme violence - such as femicide. Despite these challenges, women persist. They organize, protest, create, and build communities of resistance. V.O.W investigates the power of women’s voices, bodies, and actions as catalysts for resilience and change. It is a testament to those who refuse to be silenced and a call to witness, remember, and act.
V.O.W: Voices of Women invites visitors into an open studio space where art and activism meet in real time. As part of this evolving project, the public is welcome to engage with the creative process, join discussions on gender equality and women’s rights, and witness how storytelling and visual expression become tools of resistance. The month-long residency will culminate in a three-day exhibition showcasing completed works alongside pieces created during the open studio, offering a powerful glimpse into collective resilience and the voices that refuse to be silenced.
