During the next few weeks, and coinciding with its inauguration with the celebration of the Jerez Festival 2026, our Space Expoflamenco will host a photographic exhibition where Women will play a major role.Under the personal vision of Roksaneh graphic artist Emma Fotovat, the content of the exhibition is a megaphone for the social and cultural values of women with the flamenco as a focus of attention.
The exhibition 'Focus on – body · voice · woman'
Iranian photographer and filmmaker, Roksaneh Emma Fotovat, develops a visual work around the flamenco, understood as a living art, a language of the body and a space of transmission.
Through photography and film, he explores the movement, presence, and place of the women in flamenco culture, between the dance, the cante and daily life in Andalusia.
His work includes several series, among them FlamencoBodydedicated to the moving body, and AndaLuz — Photograms, A sensitive photographic freshness created during his early years in Andalusia. Between body, voice, and territory, his gaze is constructed from an intimate, non-documentary approach, attentive to gestures, silences, and the memory of flamenco vivid.
This focus is dedicated to Iranian women and all women, whose bodies and voices carry a history of freedom and resistance. #womanlifefreedom
