From 27 – 30 November 2014, an exhibition questioning the evolution of women in today’s societies will be presented in Brussels. The exhibition, which takes place the week of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25^th November) is organized by online gallery Spot U Art.

Using the icon “Barbie doll” and going beyond the doll’s cosmetic aspect, the duo Caroline Notté and Phil Akashi question the evolution and the future of women in today’s societies. Through images that are optimistic, powerful, and symbolic, the artists amaze by their dramatic, aesthetic and ferocious approach. Caroline Notté and Phil Akashi’s work is an observation of the society. No judgement, political or activist intention is present in their demarche.

While some women are still in search of a fundamental freedom, others take their cause to the point of losing their identity. In a wild society constantly asking for more, Akashi-Notté present the women as "superwomen".
