ArtLeadHER is proud to present "Uninterrupted Resilience: The Soul of a Woman" at the Diane von Furstenberg Flagship in the heart of New York City’s Meatpacking District.

"Uninterrupted Resilience" will showcase the work of ten talented women artists, ranging from emerging to established names in the contemporary art world. Through a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and multimedia installations, the exhibition presents a powerful exploration of themes such as identity, empowerment, and healing. The featured artists come from diverse cultural backgrounds, each bringing a unique perspective to the conversation around womanhood and resilience.

• Martine Johanna – Dutch artist who channels her personal struggles with patriarchy into vibrant works that challenge societal structures. Her unique visual language explores themes of self-expression and autonomy.

• Alanis Forde – Barbadian surrealist and figurative portrait artist whose work focuses on Black female identity in a Caribbean context, exploring themes of escape and idealized paradise.

This month-long exhibition is not just a showcase of artistic talent, but a movement aimed at fostering dialogue around women’s autonomy, freedom, and the ongoing journey of healing and self-discovery. Each piece serves as a catalyst for conversation, challenging societal norms and encouraging visitors to reflect on their own experiences of resilience.
