Join us in unravelling the layers of creativity, identity, and empowerment as we analyse the profound impact of women artists on shaping the rich tapestry of art history. Get ready for a journey that not only celebrates the contributions of women in the arts but also prompts critical reflections on gender, representation, and the evolving dynamics of visual storytelling.
