Upcoming Art Exhibition Explores Definitions Of ‘The Female’
An exhibition titled “The Female” set up by siblings Joanne and Pawlu Mizzi will be available for viewing from 3rd June at 7.30pm until 21st June, at Gemelli Art Gallery, Ta’ Qali.
The Female marks the first joint exhibition by siblings Joanne and Pawlu Mizzi. It brings together two distinct practices that approach the feminine not as a fixed idea, but as a shifting presence: embodied, contemplated, inherited, and resisted.
Both artists explore the tensions and contradictions surrounding femininity using different mediums. Joanne with fine line drawing and textured form, and Pawlu with layered collage and painting.
Their work draws from personal mythologies, cultural conditioning, and emotional memory, opening space for vulnerability without spectacle. Joanne’s practice centres on reclamation: the body, the voice, the soft turned sovereign.
Pawlu considers the feminine as a witness, as a mirror, as something both external and alive within. Together, their work presents a contrasting reflection on complexity between siblings, between genders, and between artistic approaches.
This is not an attempt to define “the female.” It is an invitation to reflect on its presence, its pressures and its possibilities, across two lives shaped by difference, proximity and the long echo of shared roots.
