Lux Feminae

Lux Feminae (Est. 2022) is a nomadic curatorial collective with roots in New York City founded by Lily Cohen and Olivia Zabludowicz. Translating from Latin as  “The Light of Woman,” Lux Feminae was established to create unique and transformative spaces shaped through the lens of the female gaze. While rooted in femininity, Lux Feminae embraces artists of all genders and backgrounds, with a focus on memory, the self, distorted realities. Its exhibitions foreground questions of physical condition, aesthetic form, and psychological expression while championing the practices of emerging artists from around the globe.

The collective embraces agility and experimentation, connecting artists to new audiences and contexts. Each project builds on a collaborative ethos, creating opportunities for dialogue across geographies and disciplines. Femininity is framed not as exclusion, but as a guiding principle, exploring delicacy with strength, dialogue with contrast, and light with presence.

Since its founding, Lux Feminae has staged exhibitions in New York, London, Paris, and Mexico City, transforming industrial sites, historic residences, and members’ clubs into immersive and lived-in spaces. Each location informs the viewer’s perception of the work, reimagining traditional exhibition formats and positioning art within contexts of daily life, memory, and experience.

Lux Feminae has collaborated with and exhibited a diverse group of emerging international artists, including Daniele Toneatti, Hedi Stanton, Maia Twombly, Adrian Schachter, and Cecile Hirschler Alberti, among many others. Its exhibitions have explored themes of memory, distorted realities, and the body, bringing together practices across painting, sculpture, photography, textiles, and performance.
