THEME: POWER IMAGINED – The Art of Women’s Impact. POWER IMAGINED is a dynamic theme that invites artists to envision and celebrate the profound impact women have had—and continue to have—on the world. Your artwork should delve into the vast possibilities of how women shape and redefine the world. This theme is about imagining women’s power not as a singular force, but as a rich and diverse spectrum of influences—each one unique, but collectively creating waves of change that resonate through generations.

Key Elements to Consider:

● Women’s Impact: Highlight the positive, transformative roles women have played throughout history, from groundbreaking historical figures to unsung heroes in everyday life. Consider both the visible and invisible contributions that women make across different industries, cultures, and communities.
● Strength and Resilience: Depict the unyielding spirit of women as they break barriers, overcome challenges, and lead with compassion and wisdom. Capture the quiet power of resilience and the loud roar of defiance, if needed.
● Diversity and Intersectionality: Embrace the rich diversity of women’s experiences. Explore the intersections of race, class, culture, and gender, and how they shape the unique ways women assert power, pursue their dreams, and impact the world.
● Imagining New Futures: Show what the future could look like with empowered women leading the way. Think of bold, visionary imagery that reflects the limitless potential of women’s collective power, from science to politics to social justice and beyond.
● Celebration of Sisterhood: Illustrate the support, solidarity, and collective strength that women offer one another. Women’s empowerment is often rooted in community, and sisterhood is a powerful force that amplifies individual efforts into broader societal change.
● Boldness and Creativity: Use art as a tool to envision not just what is, but what could be. Embrace creative expression that challenges norms, pushes boundaries, and reimagines what women’s impact could look like on a global scale. This is an opportunity to celebrate the force of women’s imagination, strength, and brilliance. Through your work, invite the viewer to reimagine what is possible when women take center stage, pushing past limitations, forging new paths, and creating a future full of hope, equity, and limitless possibility.
