WOMEN UNTIED: A Specially Curated Group Exhibition
This spring, The Watergate Hotel will highlight Women United, a global exhibition that brings together the work of contemporary women artists from around the world. The collective exhibition features artists Flávia Junqueira, Athena Anastasiou, Emilie Picard, Lesley Bodzy, and Ellen de Meijer, each presenting distinct creative perspectives and artistic styles, uniting established and emerging voices in a crossgenerational dialogue. The exhibition explores themes of identity, resilience, transformation, and the female gaze.
As part of the exhibition, Brazilian photographer and visual artist Flávia Junqueira will debut a special interactive installation inside The Next Whisky Bar.
Known for her large-scale balloon installations staged in historically significant spaces, Junqueira’s work blends celebration with reflection, transforming environments into immersive visual experiences. For this installation, The Next Whisky Bar will be transformed into a vibrant setting filled with colorful balloons, inviting guests to step directly into the artwork, explore the space, and capture photos while reflecting on themes of memory, history, and transformation.
Junqueira frequently draws inspiration from the visual world of childhood—balloons, soap bubbles, pinwheels, and merry-go-rounds—motifs that appear throughout her photography and installations.
Come by to view this special exhibition - and whiie you're checking out the art, may we suggest a visit to Top Of The Gate. Boasting 360-degree views of the Potomac River, the Washington Monument, and the city skyline, the our rooftop is truly a one-of-a-kind D.C. bar.
