Founded in 2022 by Lily Cohen and Olivia Zabludowicz, Lux Feminae emerged as a curatorial response to the evolving language of contemporary image-making, offering a vital platform for emerging female artists to be seen, heard, and critically engaged. Over six editions — from New York to London, Mexico City, and now Paris — it has become a force of continuity and reinvention, forging a space that is neither institutional nor ephemeral, but alive with dialogue, experimentation, and poetic dissent.

Margarita Demina participated in the inaugural Mexico City edition in 2023, presenting work rooted in a metaphysical exploration of photography and memory. Margarita, whose practice involves inscribing images onto stone as a meditation on time, absence, and the limits of perception, embodies Lux Feminae’s ethos: an insistence on new modes of vision, where the photographic gesture is less an imitation of life than a poetic invocation of its vanishing.
