The Exhibition
The Her Expressed art exhibition envisions an annual dynamic platform celebrating and empowering African female artists. By showcasing the voices and talents of resilient young women pursuing artistic dreams, it aims to foster a vibrant community that uplifts their achievements and showcases diverse perspectives.
The exhibition is one of the events organized by the Radiant Girl Africa Foundation in celebration as part of our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) projects, in which we encourage girls to explore and pursue interests in these fields.
The Exhibition will also commemorate the International Day of the Girl Child, which is October 11.
