In 2024, our focus sharpens on spotlighting female artists through a series of exhibitions. This year's agenda includes three solo exhibitions and a delayed collective exhibition consisting of eight female artists. The overarching aim is to tackle the prevalent gender disparities within the art world.

The participating artists span a diverse range of mediums, including performance, graphic art, painting, photography, video, sculpture and textile.
