Pulchri Studio presents two interconnected exhibitions curated and developed by artist and researcher Gabriela Acha, unfolding as a shared meditation on memory, conservation, and the enduring legacy of women artists in The Hague.
Opening on Saturday 7 February 2026, The Infinite Map of What We Remember brings together eight contemporary women artists whose lives and practices are intertwined with the city: Asuka Nirasawa, Diana Blok, Harriet Morley, Majda Vidaković, Mina Yee, Sarah Damai Hoogman, Valentina Gal, and Yke Prins. Installed in the Mesdag Zaal, the exhibition explores memory not as a static archive, but as a living, embodied force—fragile yet persistent, intimate yet collective.
Through sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, sound, and kinetic works, the artists transform remnants, gestures, rituals, and materials into vessels of remembrance. Textiles become archives, fragments become monuments, and bodies become sites where memory is inscribed and transmitted. Together, the works form an open cartography: a map without borders, shaped by migration, ecology, technology, and lived experience.
Running in parallel, Archive and Constellation presents Gabriela Acha’s ongoing research-based artistic project in the Weissenbruchzaal and Hardenbergzaal. Rooted in eight years of living and working in The Hague, Acha turns her gaze toward the city’s overlooked artistic histories, tracing the lives and contributions of historical women artists who shaped its cultural landscape.
Supported by the Municipality of The Hague and developed in dialogue with Pulchri Studio’s archive, the project honours twelve women artists—from Maria Moninckx to Sientje Mesdag van Houten —whose work, resilience, and labour opened paths for future generations. Through installations, writing, painting, sculpture, kinetic works, and her Mobile Museum, Acha reflects on visibility, migration, gendered techniques, and the ways in which women’s artistic practices have historically navigated the boundaries between art, craft, and survival.
Rather than presenting history as a closed narrative, Archive and Constellation assembles fragments into living constellations—suggesting that memory is not only something we preserve, but something that continues to shape how we create, belong, and imagine futures.
Together, these two exhibitions propose memory as an active, generative force: material, embodied, ecological, and dialogic. They invite visitors to move through a shared terrain where past and present resonate, and where women’s artistic voices—historical and contemporary—form an infinite, evolving map.
