I was honored to celebrate International Women’s Day today by attending UNESCO’s current exhibition on rural women, and to show my support for a dear friend, featured Nepalise artist Sandhya Mishra.

According to UNESCO’s website, the exhibition features a variety of different creative expressions from all over the world emphasizing the role of artistic creativity as a means of empowerment and a reflection of agency and leadership.

On display are works by artists from member states of UNESCO, including Argentina, Bolivia, Georgia, Laos, Liberia, Nepal, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

At the entrance to the hall is a fantastic Giacometti sculpture titled “l’homme qui marche.” I couldn’t help but wish it had a different name. Perhaps one day “la femme qui marche” will stand beside him. Any sculptors out there up to the task?

When to visit: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 to Friday, March 16, 2018 – 10:00am – 5:00pm
