Pan American Art Projects presents Pétits: Women Artists Redefining Scale, an exhibition challenging the notion that bigger is always better. Featuring women artists who embrace small formats as acts of resistance and poetic strength, Pétits proves that powerful social and political commentary does not require vast canvases- only thought, precision, and intent.

Historically, women’s struggles have been overshadowed by larger political movements, with domestic violence, pay disparities, and reproductive rights often rendered invisible. Likewise, women’s unpaid labor sustains economies while remaining undervalued. Pétits challenges this imbalance, amplifying voices often overlooked simply because they do not conform to dominant narratives of power.

Women artists have long used the small, the fragile, and the ephemeral as radical tools, as seen in exhibitions like Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985 (Hammer Museum, 2017) and Women House: Femme Maison (NMWA, 2018).

Continuing this legacy, Pétits presents works that demand intimacy and a shift in perspective, celebrating the power of subtlety and detail. Featuring artists Carola Bravo, Lorena Gutiérrez Camejo, Susana Pilar Delahante Matienzo, Paola Mondolfi, Ana Mendieta, Elsa Mora, Grethell Rasu, Sandra Ramos, Carolina Sardi, and Leticia Sanchez Toledo, the exhibition underscores the immense impact of small-scale art.
