The Good Malaysian Woman: Ethnicity, Religion, Politics Exhibition

THE exhibition, 'The Good Malaysian Woman: Ethnicity, Religion, Politics', is being organised by the All Women's Action Society (AWAM) and Interpr8 Art Space.

Featuring 22 artists and over 30 artworks in a variety of mediums, the exhibition raises questions such as 'whose view', 'what is right or wrong', 'who judges', 'should they judge'. This group of women artists will present different views of what a 'good Malaysian woman' is, while simultaneously celebrating the diversity and complexity of women in Malaysian society.

The exhibition will features both emerging and established artists, such as Bibi Chew, Izan Tahir, Shia Yih Ying, Yee I-Lann, Aisyah Baharuddin, Intan Rafiza, Sharon Chin, Anisa Abdullah and more. The works presented will include paintings, mixed media works, installation, photography, sculpture and video art.

The majority of the works have been created specially for the exhibition, and are all for sale with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to AWAM.

The collaboration between AWAM and the gallery came about to address shared concerns about issues that affect women today, and an interest in art and its power to raise social consciousness.
