Women’s Works

These are absolutely pieces of feminist work. They all are from Chinese female artists. All I found is they all bring up ideas of what women concern in today’s society towards issues of imbalance of attention from public and value traditionally accorded to male artists.

Remember I ever posted a “Paper Lion” on May 3rd this year? In fact, this lion is now in the exhibition of Women’s Works. This is my major reason to visit this exhibition. It’s very special. I saw the following lion on the street before the exhibition started.

They capture the scene of an old lady pushing the paper lion around area of Sheung Wan. It was the day I saw it I guess. It reflects how those old ladies of H.K. do their daily works. Many old ladies of here do pick up unused paper from the streets and sell them for money. They have those paper placed on the trolley, and bring them to the location where they can sell. It’s upsetting actually. We have old people who handle jobs that they shouldn’t do. If the following lady wasn’t with a paper lion, but with the unused paper, I doubt she would attract attention from people on the street. This is the theme of bringing attention from general public towards poor work condition of old ladies/people in H.K.

Aids awareness - Lately I did watch news and learn that over 50% of African American women who are HIV positive. They did admit that they are lack of sex education and knowledge that leads them to suffer from Aids or HIV positive. The following images are explicit in content and may offend you, but please look at it in positive thought. It aims to rise the global awareness of Aids issues among women. It’s not just a problem of women, and also men.

They all are great works, aren’t they? It’s inspiring to bring attention to general public of what we concern nowaday, and how we think. It’s not something only happening in H.K., but also happening in the rest of the world. Women are always intelligent, aren’t we?
