NAPA, CA.- di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art announces its newest exhibition Our Bodies, Ourselves (April 14-July 30, 2023). The exhibition showcases female photographers in the di Rosa collection.

Since the 1970s, photographers have reclaimed the female gaze, picturing women’s’ bodies in ways not intended for male consumption. The works ask us to reconsider the camera lens as a tool of male power, raising questions about what kinds of bodies deserve depiction while centering issues of health and sexuality, body positivity and gender-based violence.

“As we live through the erosion of women’s rights on both legal and cultural fronts, it is more important than ever to celebrate the female voices in our collection,” states Executive Director Kate Eilertsen. “We are committed to using our collection to elevate marginalized perspectives.”

Artists highlighted in the exhibition include a who’s who of feminist photographers from the Bay Area including: Ruth Bernhard, Judy Dater, Dana Bonick, Nina Glaser and Teresa Chen. Concurrently on view this summer Natural Discourse @ di Rosa highlights the works of contemporary female photographers turning their lenses on the natural world.
