“Without a Corset” an art project by Sofia de Medeiros and Nina Medeiros, establishes a dialogue between sculpture, video art, and the costume collections of the National Costume Museum and the Carlos Machado Museum, centered on the body and collective memory. First presented in 2025, the project now comes to Ponta Delgada, the artists’ hometown, as part of the PDL26 program - Ponta Delgada, Portuguese Capital of Culture. The exhibition reexamines the construction of femininity and masculinity through fashion and clothing, using the corset as a symbol of constraint and a representation of the female body. Set between the past and the present, it invites reflection on identity, freedom, gender, and power.
