International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. This Year’s theme #ChooseToChallege is apt. As Women In Culture! We have choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. The Challenge is also about questioning stereotype and also help to forge an inclusive world. Female Artists Association of Nigeria( FEAAN) and the China Cultural Centre have an existing relationship that has span over 8 years. We have had joint programs to mark international Women’s Day, and exchanged programs in China. Due to the pandemic a lot of programs were cancelled. We have no option than to adjust ourselves to the “new normal’ by putting up this virtual and physical Art Exhibition. This is to limit the number of people gathering together at the exhibition venue. All Covid 19 protocols will be observed. The all female contemporary art exhibition will showcase works in different media such as paintings, ceramics, and sculpture.We appreciate the Director China Culture Centre, Mr. Li Xiuda and the Deputy Director Madam Jia Xiaoling for giving us this opportunity. Happy Viewing Ngozi Akande Exhibition Coordinator
