How do artists act in the postcolonial, digital present from their respective situations? What emancipatory understanding underlies their art? How do they broaden the view of a feminist-oriented future?

Empowerment: Art and Feminisms is a South Asian travelling exhibition, showcasing the work of 31 feminist artists and artist collectives. It looks at inclusion at all levels and showcases the voices and rights of various gender and social minorities, especially in the context of South Asia.

The guided walk will include a Feminist Library Session

The Feminist Library is an installation that aims at creating small spaces for intimate gatherings related to books and literature.  The Feminist Library at Empowerment, in Kolkata is a travelling pop-up version of the original Feminist Library located in Bangalore. This installation is both a work of art, as well as a functional space for art, conversations, banter, collective discourse and healing.

The Feminist Library will remain open through-out the exhibition.
