Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Mujer. Todos somos una' (Woman. We are all one) presents a series of photographic portraits by Francisco Magallón, shedding light on the complex realities and specific challenges that women and girls confront worldwide due to their gender. The exhibition confronts themes stemming from historical androcentrism, where a male-centric perspective has often rendered women's experiences invisible and marginalized their contributions, consequently creating conditions for violence, exclusion, and frustration. Magallón's powerful images document critical situations including displacement due to natural disasters, domestic and family violence, forced family planning, genital mutilation, honor crimes, forced marriage, and survival sex. Through these portraits, the exhibition seeks to tell compelling stories, sensitizing the public to increase awareness and foster a collective will to drive necessary changes towards achieving effective equality. Francisco Magallón, a seasoned graphic reporter for TVE since 1983, has received numerous awards and held several solo exhibitions, using his camera as a vital connection to the human face and its experiences across diverse global contexts.
