Situated in the heart of Bucharest, within a renovated 1930s townhouse, EVA Foundation is a dynamic art space housing a transnational collection of 20th and 21st century art created by women.

EVA Foundation’s collection is a celebration of women artists and their indelible mark on art history. By placing emerging voices in dialogue with celebrated figures such as Judy Chicago and Alice Neel, the collection traces a lineage of innovation and subversion across time and geography. Artists represented span more than a dozen nations—including Romania, Kenya, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Peru, and Morocco—underscoring EVA’s commitment to a truly global feminist perspective.

Placing the collection within a restored domestic space embraces the personal and the subjective, allowing art and architecture to exist in dialogue. The townhouse’s design was directly informed by the collection itself, reflecting EVA’s belief that art is a living thing, continually shaped by the space it inhabits and the people it touches.

EVA Foundation’s inaugural exhibition, Sirens, frames Feminism as both an approach to art making, as well as a critical lens through which artwork is comprehended. Presenting disparate and varied approaches to artistic process, some grounded in activism, others shaped by autobiographical histories and cultural traditions, the artists selected subvert first impressions. Visually alluring objects reveal heavily charged discourses.  The exhibition includes work by Taryn Simon, Gisela Colón, Mona Hatoum and Cora Cohen.
