In this exhibition, women have used artistic practice to respond to social and political realities and to imagine ways of living and working otherwise. Inspired by Dolorosa Sinaga's sculpture Fear No Power (2003), the exhibition celebrates participating artists' fearlessness in their artistic journeys.
