Sreeja Pallam’s paintings celebrate resilient women in traditionally male-dominated roles—climbing coconut trees, tapping rubber, selling tea, and more. Her work, rooted in feminist and eco-political themes, draws from everyday life in Palakkad, portraying the strength and determination of women who defy societal expectations to support their families. Through The Women in the Working Places, Sreeja explores patriarchal hierarchies, resource inequities, and the intersection of gender justice with poverty, highlighting the vital role of women’s labor in sustaining communities.
