CODE GIRL

If the mural is the declaration, the exhibition is the expansion!

30 May — 26 July 2026


Following the Memorial Day Weekend activation, we will present CODE GIRL, an exhibition that builds directly from the mural commission and extends its language into the art space.


G — Great
I — Inspiring
R — Remarkable
L — Leaders


CODE GIRL treats GIRL as structure. As acronym. As manifesto. As blueprint.


This exhibition asks: what happens when women write themselves into public space — at scale, in colour, in permanence? And what happens when that act is echoed inside the gallery, across mediums and voices?


The mural remains as the backdrop for the artworks — a constant presence. Inside, CODE GIRL gathers artists working across interdisciplinary practices, installation, moving image, video, film, animation, and expanded media. Together, the mural wall and the exhibition operate as one proposition: women not as subject, but as author.


CODE GIRL is the methodology of this group exhibition. It frames how work is made, positioned, and experienced. Against the harsh realities of personal histories and the unyielding grind of time, CODE GIRL manifests as collective assertion — a system of visibility, endurance, and shared authorship. It insists on presence. It insists on voice. It insists on scale.


CODE GIRL considers:
 

GIRL as identity, reclamation, and forward motion

 

  • Leadership as image and as action

  • Language as structure and signal

  • Public presence as cultural architecture


This is not a thematic exhibition about girls.
It is an exhibition about power, authorship, and construction.


The mural becomes the beacon.
The exhibition becomes the echo.


Together, WOMEN IN PUBLIC SPACE and CODE GIRL form a single gesture — one outward-facing, one inward-reflective. One written on the wall. One unfolding in dialogue.


We are not creating background.
We are building a visible, sustained presence.


GIRL as power.
GIRL as language.
GIRL as blueprint.
