Waju Talks: Through the Female Lens
Waju Talks returns with a curated screening and conversation through a female perspective.
This edition examines how traditionally male-dominated spaces from the football pitch to the art world shift when viewed and authored by women.
What changes when women enter spaces historically shaped by men? Who frames the male body?
This event is open to everyone.
You are welcome to speak, respond to the films, or simply listen.
Expect a focused screening, a layered conversation and a space grounded in curiosity rather than judgement.
Programme:
Back of the Net (16 mins)
Directed by Klara Kaliger
A heartfelt story of a young female footballer torn between her ambitions and her responsibilities to her grandmother, once a footballer herself. A human exploration of care, aspiration and belonging in a male-dominated sport.
Everything I Do Is For The Gaze (10 mins)

An artist and her gallerist clash over a proposed exhibition of male nudes. A playful yet provocative exploration of the female gaze, authorship and how the male body has been represented across art history.
