UN Women is the global champion for gender equality, working to develop and uphold standards and create an environment in which every woman and girl can exercise her human rights and live up to her full potential.

“Over the past several decades, we’ve witnessed many notable strides and attempts to fill crucial art history gaps, yet Black women artists are still frequently held back. And though the art world’s traditions of gatekeeping persist, the work of countless committed researchers, curators, archivists, and historians has proven that women artists of African descent are beyond due to receive well-deserved recognition, support, and patronage.

The exhibition showcases the works of esteemed artists such as Cassie Namoda, Wangari mathenge but also from lesser -known artists living and working in Africa, the caribbean, South and Central America.”
