After Paradise and USURPA Gallery are thrilled to announce a month-long art showcase, dedicated to celebrating Womxn’s Month in South Africa. This curated artistic journey promises to entertain and inspire audiences through a diverse array of immersive activities.
The event will feature captivating musical performances, insightful panel discussions, and interactive workshops, all thoughtfully designed to foster dialogue and ignite creativity. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to delve into the creative process, embracing art as a powerful medium for personal growth and expression.
Highlighting the showcase will be awe-inspiring art and tech installations, masterpieces created by talented South African Womxn artists. These groundbreaking works will bridge the gap between traditional art and innovative technology, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
To infuse an element of excitement, the event will host thrilling giveaways, granting attendees a chance to own a piece of this unforgettable celebration, cherishing the spirit of South Africa’s Womxn.
“Our Womxn’s Month celebration will be a rich tapestry of art, Womxn, technology, and culture, encapsulating the essence of South Africa’s Womxn,” stated the organisers.
Diversity & Inclusion Purpose:
Recognising the challenges faced by womxn in the cryptocurrency and NFT spaces, and acknowledging the broader gender diversity issues within the technology sector, the event aims to address these inequalities. The industry’s historical male dominance has created barriers, leading to feelings of exclusion and biases for womxn. Additionally, social and cultural factors may discourage womxn from exploring careers or participating in these areas.
As part of their efforts to promote inclusivity, After Paradise and USURPA Gallery are collaborating with Art of Superwomxn. This partnership aims to support and encourage womxn’s participation in the crypto and NFT space through educational programs, mentorship opportunities, and networking events. These initiatives will not only span the month of August but also continue to advocate for progress beyond the event’s duration.
The organisers highlight that despite the challenges, womxn have contributed significantly to the crypto and NFT space, excelling in various roles as investors, developers, artists, and entrepreneurs. Encouraging womxn’s involvement through education, mentorship, and inclusivity initiatives is key to cultivating a more balanced and diverse industry.
