The ‘Reflections of Womanhood’ art exhibition is one of paintings, sculptures, photography, installation and printmaking. It puts forward the imagery of silent artworks which speak a thousand words, narrating tales of millions of women across the globe.
The show celebrates not only women but also everything feminine from mother earth, to life and all the way to the inception of the universe with Shiva and Shakti.
However undermined, the world without fifty percent of its literal better half wouldn’t have existed at all and ironically we never even stop to think.
This show highlights the need to remove gender inequalities which still exist even if we close our eyes to it. No matter how hard the governments try, yet the need for both the girl child education and women’s employment is still very much a matter of concern in most parts of the world.
The show houses 54 top artists, who have very powerfully narrated these tales of courage, love and dedication of countless women on their canvases and sculptures.
It also includes two senior dance maestros and Gurus who will be inaugurating the show as well as 3 top instrumentalists and a troop of kathak dancers. This show is a collaborative effort of three art galleries including Pioneer Art Gallery, Divine Art Gallery and digitally partnered by Ehsaas. The show is being curated by internationally acclaimed curator and artist Manisha Gawade.
