FEMINIST ART EXHIBIT • AMSTERDAM

To The Moon is a feminist art exhibit curated by Claudia Partac, gathering nine women artists in a collective act of resistance and renewal

Artist Line-up

Aafke Buringh

Aafke Buringh (she, her) is an Amsterdam based artist. She graduated Theatre school in 2002 at ArtEZ, Arnhem, and has worked in theatre ever since. Her drawings and paintings started to grow into a new career during the Covid 19 pandemic. Since there was no work in theatre, she had to guide her creative energy elsewhere. There are a lot of parallels between her theatre work and the paintings she makes. ‘How to survive in this world?’ is the theme that runs like a red thread through all her work. She focusses on human emotions and our struggles in life.

Claudia Partac

Claudia Parțac (b. 1992, Romania) is an emerging curator and artistic researcher. Her curatorial practice centres on installation-based exhibitions that reimagine the gallery as home. Responding to the ephemerality of living and working spaces in Amsterdam, she hosts exhibitions that aim to transcend the contractual relations of art in public through extended collaborations. As part of the series Practices of Care, established with Ester Eva Damen in 2022, her work brings together women artists to explore themes of grief, loss, and intimacy. Curating with care provides a different kind of experience from those offered by big art institutions and fosters more collaborative approaches to exhibition-making.

E. Coleman Muehlhausen

E. Coleman Muehlhausen spent over a decade working as a professional designer in the U.S. before turning our attention to conceptual art upon arriving in Amsterdam in 2020. Currently based in Chicago, our method is complex, requiring multiple phases at once: reading, observing, documenting, cataloging, and building concepts based on what can be found in the local environment. We enjoy experimenting with a variety of materials and collected items that inspire and intrigue us such as wild plants, shells, stones, lost items, and broken and unidentifiable fragments of former goods. By reframing these items as sculptural objects and installations, we explore concepts of human (mis)judgement. We are particularly interested in doing things wrong, with a goal of generating conversations about perfection and economic value, materialized history, the collapse of time, and "nature" as ideology.

Esmeralda Mlihi Terraneo

Three years ago, Esmeralda made a courageous decision to leave behind her career as an architect and data engineer to follow her heart into a world where dance and art meet. She briefly attended the Rietveld Academy’s evening program and then opened a studio tucked away in Het Salon, behind the Westerpark in Amsterdam. There, surrounded by paint and movement, she lives her dream—painting, dancing, and creating. It’s a space where art is born, grows, and is meant to be shared. Even as a child, she felt that deep, unspoken longing to create. But it wasn’t until now, years later, that she fully surrendered to it. Esmeralda calls herself a ""sculptor of movement""—someone who doesn’t just dance the dance but captures it, who doesn’t just write words but gives them form. Inspired by tango and capoeira, she explores the tension between closeness and distance in her work, letting herself be guided by poetry, rhythm, and intuition. Her canvases come alive with movement, rich with emotion—each piece a dance, every line a breath. In her studio, art isn’t just made; it’s ex-perienced, shared, and brought to life. Curious? Send her a message and drop by.

Jasna Ivanković

Jasna Ivankovic is a photographer based in Amsterdam, whose work focuses on light, nature, and quiet transformation. Her name, meaning bright and clear, reflects the spirit she captures through photography, showing the beauty found in shifting moments of sunrise, sunset, and natural change. Her photography captures a sense of exploration within daily landscapes and transitions of light, telling deeper stories of growth, renewal, and becoming. Through her work, she invites spectators to pause, notice subtle movements, and reconnect with the quiet rhythms of the world around them. Jasna’s inspirations also stem from diverse atmospheres and environments she encounters while traveling, each carrying its own unique mood and story. Her images offer a gentle invitation to see the world with fresh eyes, honoring the strength and softness that often rise unnoticed in nature and within the human spirit. Her series Moonrise Within, presented at the To the Moon exhibition, reflects this vision. It celebrates the silent yet powerful ways that light continues to rise, both around us and within us.

Leontine Smit

Leontine combines her background in interior architecture with a passion for visual art. Trained in Architectural Design at the Academy of Visual Arts in Utrecht, she has worked in yacht design, retail, and project interiors—experiences that shaped her refined sense of space and form. Her artworks include acrylic paintings, bronze sculptures, botanical prints, and watercolor travel illustrations. Inspired by people, landscapes, and everyday moments, her style shifts between figurative and abstract. Leontine’s work explores atmosphere, structure, and emotion. She also teaches creative classes to children, sharing her love for visual expression across generations.

Lies Aris

Lies Aris is a visual artist and writer born and raised in Amsterdam. She translates her thoughts into stories and visual art, mainly installations and sculptures. She often inspires people to use their senses when experiencing her art. Her work is regularly shown in exhibitions and galleries. Aris also teaches creative writing at various academies and colleges, she writes and develops publications about people in their specific environments. My work honours human vulnerability and celebrates the physical. It often raises social injustices in an absurd way. I see my sculptures and installations as organisms that live, move and tell us their story. You will often see female nudity. Shown as a lament, a consolation or a political statement. I want women to occupy more space. That they silence patriarchal society. And finally take care of each other and the earth. Maybe that's my (wo)manifesto?

Lou Pitaffe

Lou Pitaffe (they, them) is a research-driven maker, academically trained, educated through queerness and cripness, who works in images, words, timber, greenery and a body. Their work emerges out of a fascination for altered abilities, discarded devices, obsolete machines, passed on possessions, and neglected gardens. Lou Pitaffe is interested in exploring how these can be reimagined and repurposed in ways that, rather than aspiring nostalgic preservation, are future oriented, transformative and playfully activistic.

Our Manifesto

In the face of rising patriarchy and global unrest, we offer an alternative: art as connection, defiance, and hope.
