At first glance, it seems that women in the modern world have achieved their goal - they wear costumes, have the right to vote, become parliamentarians, receive salaries on a par with men, and we increasingly hear from them words such as “feminism”, “gender”, “Gender discrimination”, “sexism”. Society has always imposed a certain role on a woman, prescribed rules of conduct, and limited the range of professional opportunities and social functions. With the development of feminist theory in the second half of the 20th century, women are more and more worried about their own status and place in modern society. At the same time, the modern emancipated world, freeing a woman from patriarchal shackles, requires her to correspond to the present day.

The exhibition in Gallery A3 tries to comprehend how a woman is used to seeing in everyday life her actions prescribed by society, and how she is trying to deal with them. With what eyes does a woman look at her own subjectivity and sexuality? How does mass culture and the stereotypes of behavior dictated by it affect the image of a modern woman? How are relations between the sexes changing and where is the boundary between male and female? The exhibition captures all the metamorphoses that a woman undergoes in everyday reality, in conditions where she finds herself chained to the gender cell of differences and the social role assigned to her by society.
