Whether as artists, curators, historians or filmmakers, women continue to engage with the arts for empowerment and use it as a platform to inspire, spread awareness and define history. Art made by and for women plays a prominent role in representing issues of gender equality. Irrespective of the genre, the arts continue to be a significant platform and voice in channelizing and supporting the fight for women equality. To mark the International Day of the Girl Child 2021, we present a discussion that features inspirational speakers, mentors and practitioners who will come together to speak about how the arts have been a key enabler in their journey of empowerment.
