Teniqua Crawford exhibits at Vennice Biennale exhibition

June 20, 2024

Teniqua Crawford's work Fragment Horizon is exhibited at Vennice Biennale, Breasts exhibition alongside artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Mapplethorpe and Cindy Sherman.

'Breasts showcases the diverse works of emerging and established artists from around the world, spanning the realms of painting, sculpture, photography, and film. Works in the exhibition explore how breasts have been understood and represented in art across cultures and traditions.

Reflecting on a range of themes from motherhood, empowerment, sexuality, body image and illness, it explores how breasts act as a catalyst to discuss socio-political realities, challenge historical traditions and express personal and collective identities.
Breasts, providers of nourishment and epitomes of sex appeal, stand out as among the most intricate components of human anatomy. They carry a plethora of meanings and possess the ability to evoke deep emotional responses. Serving as the most conspicuous symbol of femaleness, breasts are entwined with two contrasting and arguably conflicting narratives of womanhood: the breast as a locus of sexual desire and with the breast as a symbol of motherhood.

The breast, functioning as a cultural signifier, occupies a space of profound personal and political significance.'
