Exhibition: "The power of the Himba woman"
Gender equality in our society, always in the spotlight and constantly debated, is an extremely interesting and prominent subject. The object of this exhibition is to show the matriarcal Himba culture to our own society and provoke a comparative reflection on the essential role of women in this culture.
Whilst well travelled in places such as Ecuador, Jordan, Egypt, Dubai or the Arctic Circle, the African continent was the first place to inspire Jorge Vilar to create an exhibition comprising 30 photographs (26 color and 4 black and white, 65 x 45 cm. photographs).
To walk around the exhibition, the author recommends visitors to bring their own headphones as well as their mobile, so as to enjoy a fuller experience while listening to the audio, in which Vilar himself tells the story that lies behind each photograph.
«The power of the Himba woman is the biography of a
woman who bears the weight of a society»
