Event description
The Empower Her Art Forum is a global event based in Egypt, with the participation of female artists from 34 countries across five continents. In addition to displaying the artists' work, the Forum will also include workshops, direct drawing, and panel discussions. We are also pleased to announce that, for the first time in Egypt, paintings will be printed in Braille to better integrate blind people into a visual art event and larger society as a whole. Our hope is this will open new horizons for artists and audiences alike.
The Forum aims to empower professional female artists in Egypt and around the world, shed light on their work, and support emerging female artists through workshops and panel discussions. In addition to creating a leading platform to hear the voices of women, the Forum will be a safe space for female artists to exchange ideas and goals with each other, and empower displaced women and women with disabilities by presenting their work and creating opportunities to support them on the right path to reach their goals.
