Back to the Sink

In Back to the Sink, Pri Barbosa addresses the undervaluation of care work and the cultural confinement of women within the domestic sphere. The painting contrasts elements from her daily life as an urban artist with the setting of a home, constructing scenes that provoke through visual tension and deliberate use of color.

The title references a phrase often used to belittle women participating in traditionally male-dominated spaces—a mindset that still lingers, even in the world of street art. By bringing these themes to the surface, Barbosa challenges the persistent resistance to women’s presence in public life.
