Under the title about A woman, the first exhibition was organized in 2013 at art podium De Witte Slagerij in Rotterdam. How is it now - years later - with emancipation in the arts?
In 2019, Mama Cash published a research report on the position of female artists in the Netherlands, which concluded that the visual presence of women in art is still far from average.
