1. RMZ Foundation is celebrating Indian Women Artists on Global Platforms In the vibrant sphere of Indian art and design, a new initiative is emerging as a beacon of artistic celebration. A collaboration between RMZ Foundation and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) has culminated in a UK exhibition that aims to honor and support Indian women artists, elevating their work onto the global stage. This partnership embodies a shared mission: introducing India’s rich cultural heritage to a wider audience. It transcends a mere display of art, instead spotlighting the transformative power of art to bridge divides, promote accessibility, and foster understanding. Amplifying Voices Through Art

2. At the forefront of this twofold collaboration are two remarkable exhibitions. Bharti Kher’s solo exhibition, “Alchemies,” delves into the female body and experience, offering a profound commentary on contemporary issues of identity and gender. Her sculptures, rich with symbolic meaning and reflective of women’s perspectives, are a powerful testament to the complexities of the female experience. Kher’s work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, engaging viewers in a dialogue about identity, power, and the human condition. Simultaneously, Suhasini Kejriwal’s “Garden of Un-Earthly Delights,” is a mesmerizing collection of hand-painted bronze sculptures. Kejriwal’s intricate botanical themes invite viewers into a whimsical yet profound exploration of nature and imagination. Her work is a celebration of the delicate balance between human creativity and the natural world, capturing the essence of beauty and resilience. Collaborative presentations of such scale and stage are part of a broader effort to not only showcase art but also to proactively offer platforms for women artists to emerge confidently. Anu Menda, Managing Trustee, RMZ Foundation believes that art is the unifying force that transcends geographical boundaries. “We view this exhibition as an opportunity to spark meaningful conversations and make art more accessible to diverse audiences. By showcasing these powerful artworks in one of the UK’s most widely visited art spaces, the Foundation aims to share a rich cultural heritage with the world while empowering women artists.” Fostering Accessibility and Inclusivity

3. Through a multi-faceted approach, public art installations are curated and commissioned in parks, public arenas, and office spaces, ensuring that art is an integral part of everyday life. Such initiatives transcend merely showcasing art, aiming to make it accessible to all and fostering a deeper connection with diverse audiences. These installations not only beautify urban environments but also create spaces for reflection and community engagement. By providing platforms for artistic expression and engagement, barriers must be broken down in making art a universal language. Inclusive art workshops and events are initiatives that bring together people of all ages and abilities, forging creative connections and fostering a sense of community. By bringing celebrated women artists out of the shadows and into the spotlight, traditional gender norms are constantly challenged, promoting a more inclusive art world. So far, RMZ Foundation has held exhibitions, featuring over 60 contemporary sculptures, including artworks by female artists from diverse backgrounds and career stages, reflecting a commitment to diversity and inclusivity. “Our work with women artists extends across India’s states, showcasing talents such as Trupti Patel, Shanthamani M., Shilpa Gupta, Vibha Galhotra, Jaysree Burman, Manisha Parekh, Shaikha Al Mazrou, and Alicja Kwade.” Each artist brings a unique perspective and voice, enriching the cultural tapestry and contributing to art’s societal impact. As this journey continues, the mission to integrate art into communities and contribute to societal impact remains steadfast. Support for women artists and commitment to inclusivity and accessibility are paving the way for a more vibrant and equitable art
