Audacious BIPOC group exhibition

Galleri Rotor2, Teatergatan 5, HDK-Valand

For the Audacious BIPOC exhibition celebrating Women’s Month, Thurees Obenza presented three photographic works: A Woman’s Place is Wherever the Hell She Wants It to Be!, Sugar, Spice, and Reproductive Rights, and a still life featuring lipsticks arranged around a chessboard.

Working primarily with objects and staged compositions, Thurees' photographs explore themes of autonomy, femininity, and power. Cosmetics, sweets, and game pieces become symbolic props: objects that feel playful at first glance but carry deeper commentary about women’s agency and the spaces they claim for themselves.

Audacious brought together artists from diverse backgrounds, creating a collective platform where identity, resistance, and personal narratives could intersect. For Thurees, the exhibition reinforced something she often explores in her practice: that still life photography can be political, and that everyday objects can hold complex social conversations.
