Female empowerment through art: a celebration of International Women's Day

International Women's Day Celebration

This gathering is organized in the context of International Women's Day 2025. Discover the beauty, strength and resilience of women worldwide. Find an art exhibition, a call to action, a celebration of progress and a chance to connect through art, conversation and shared aspirations.

The exhibition features a collection of portraits created by artist Cathycat, each celebrating the essence of femininity. These portraits highlight the experiences, cultures and unique stories of women around the world. From bold and contemporary pieces to more traditional styles, the artworks invite viewers to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of women and the power of inclusivity.

Participate in inspiring dialogues:

Engage in conversations that challenge norms, inspire action, and encourage collaboration for a more inclusive society. A key component of the event is the use of bespoke conversation cards. Each card features uplifting and thought-provoking questions and is distributed throughout the venue to encourage open dialogue. With questions such as ‘What gives you strength as a woman?��� and ����Who is a female role model in your life?’ the cards invite attendees to share their perspectives and spark meaningful conversations.

Connect generations:

Both teens (16+) and adults will find inspiration and understanding in the shared stories of women from different backgrounds.
