The Art of Empowerment
The Art of Empowerment is a fundraising and activism programme which partners with leading women artists to create limited edition works in support of our work. These beautiful editions are created in textile and stitched fabric, to honour the timeless craft of women across cultures, and as a symbol and celebration of the work of women through the ages.
Founded by Maria Baibakova – art expert, activist, and Special Adviser on Arts and Philanthropy to UN Women UK – the programme connects leading artists who identify as women and art lovers with the opportunity to create widespread change for women and girls across the world.
Launched in 2018, the programme’s editions have both sold out, and the initiative is back for a third year – this time working with esteemed artist Lakwena Maciver. The Art of Empowerment works with acclaimed women artists to create limited edition runs of work, which are sold to benefit the women engaged in career skills through our programmes worldwide.
