Lado Sarai In New Delhi Gears Up For An Art Exhibition Of Paintings, Sculptures On Women's Day Titled: 'Reflections Of Womanhood'

The exhibition sheds light on the imperative to eradicate persisting gender inequalities, even if we choose to turn a blind eye.

On the occasion of Women's Day on March 8, 'Reflections of Womanhood' stands as a compelling and robust exhibition of paintings, sculptures, photography, installations, and printmaking, presenting the silent narratives of artworks that convey profound stories, echoing the experiences of millions of women globally. It not only pays tribute to women but also embraces all things feminine, from Mother Earth and life itself to the cosmic origins with Shiva and Shakti.

The exhibition sheds light on the imperative to eradicate persisting gender inequalities, even if we choose to turn a blind eye. Regardless of governmental efforts, concerns persist about the education of the girl child and women's employment in various parts of the world.

The show will be inaugurated by two senior dance maestros and Gurus, as well as 3 top instrumentalists and a troop of kathak dancers and is a collaborative effort of three art galleries including Pioneer Art Gallery, Divine Art Gallery and digitally partnered by Ehsaas.

Talking about the exhibition, Director of Ehsaas Manisha Gawade said, "Only a drastic change in our education can lead to economic freedom for women, leading the way to a progressive new tomorrow. Gender biases cannot pave the way for our generations to come. This show brings this very important message to the nation as a whole. Ehsaas has always stood for women, artists and weavers and we believe that all the art forms are interdependent on each other and it is hence that we take pride in staging this wonderful event as a combined amalgamation of the various art forms."

In addition, the Director of Pioneer Art Gallery, Praveen Upadhye said, "The world is incomplete without women. Their endurance is what binds humanity together. This exhibition brings out the various colours a woman fills into our lives with her varying virtues as a special creation of nature."

Lastly, Sumit Thakur, Director of Divine Art Gallery concluded, “Women of today are our pride and the fact that this show houses both male and female artists is an artist representation of how we can also happily coexist in the society as a whole. It doesn’t cost anything to love and respect each other."
