Members - Women of the World
6th MARCH 2009: Opening of the Women of the World exhibition
at the Serpentine Community Gallery on Friday, at 7pm.
Women of the World is a group show
by local artists in a variety of styles
that investigates the lives of women
from around the globe.
It’s a celebration of women’s diversity,
achievements and struggles
and coincides with
International Women’s Day
(which is this Sunday).
Twenty per cent of all sales will go to ARD
(Academy of Root Development),
a community banking system
that gives out small business loans in India.
(For example, a mother might want to buy a loom or sewing machine to boost family income.
- That’s where ARD helps.)
