Art Exhibit Honors Women

The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) with the International Museum of Women (IMOW) of San Francisco recently opened an international art exhibition, Progress of the World's Women to be shown in the visitors' lobby of the United Nations throughout June.

The exhibition features more than 70 artists from 50 countries including Sofia Kifle (Ethiopia), Annie Leibovitz (US), Nalini Malani (India), Egle Rakauskaite (Lithuania), Sandra Ramos (Cuba) Joyce Scott (US), and Remedios Varo (Mexico), and many more highly acclaimed artists. Paintings, sculpture, photography, crafts and multimedia will be on display.

"Through art, activism, and rethinking development, women start a journey of becoming who they truly feel themselves to be, envisioning new possibilities and bringing them into being in the course of their everyday lives," said Noeleen Heyzer, executive director of UNIFEM. "No longer the objects of the artist's gaze, women have become the visionaries."
