Territorial Bodies is a collective art exhibition taking place at Bardo Projektraum Berlin, an experimental art space dedicated to fostering dialogue between visual and performing arts, literature, and social discourse. Curated by Marcela Villanueva, this exhibition challenges the conventional understanding of the body as merely physical, presenting it instead as a landscape shaped by histories of movement, displacement, violence, and reclamation.

The exhibition brings together five feminist and decolonial artists whose works explore the intersections between corporeality and geography, memory and migration, identity and belonging. Through photography, installation, mixed media, and performance, these artworks construct counter-narratives that confront imposed structures of control over both the body and space.

If you are interested in feminist art that questions established power dynamics and challenges social norms, this exhibition is for you. Visit Bardo Projektraum Berlin and experience how these artists transform personal and collective experiences into powerful visual statements.

Featured Artists and Works:

• Alice Brunello Luise – “Shapes of My Heart”
  Alice Brunello Luise’s work reclaims the body as a site of radical honesty and resilience. Through mixed-media collages, she maps the intersection between physical suffering and political resistance. “Shapes of My Heart” challenges the perception of illness as weakness, presenting vulnerability as both personal and collective power.

• Amanda Bobadilla – “Cardenillo / Letter to the Space”
  Amanda Bobadilla questions how colonial mapping practices shape our perception of space and identity. Her work reclaims cartography as a personal and political tool, proposing new ways of understanding geographical and emotional landscapes.

• Bernadita Bennett – “Ir y venir”
  Through analog photography, Bernadita Bennett captures the tension between belonging and displacement. Her work reflects the experience of migration by documenting everyday moments in Berlin and Santiago de Chile, revealing the fragile space between familiarity and estrangement.

• Vivian Ngozi Aghamelu – “HAIRY SEDUCTION”
  Vivian Ngozi Aghamelu’s interdisciplinary practice confronts Eurocentric beauty standards and capitalist structures by reclaiming Black femininity as a site of power and resistance. Her work challenges the commodification of Black bodies and questions how beauty norms shape identity.

• Renata Faccenda – “En Bragas”
  Renata Faccenda’s work addresses the tension between power and vulnerability. By challenging social norms and questioning control, “Bajate los pantalones” becomes a statement on agency and exposure.
