Biennale of women in art – Edition zero

it was a blast,
thank you!

The Biennale of Women In Art Zero Edition (March 2024) is over and what a blast it was! You have been over 2500 visitors from 50 countries! This is incredible. So we want to thank all the people who made it possible and all of you who visited us. 

We want to thank all the artists who trusted us and co-created this amazing event together with us. We want to thank our fantastic team of volunteers and supporters without whom this event would have not existed. We want to also thank Deborah De Robertis for being our Zero Edition Ambassador, Giovanna Massoni, Arielle d’Hauterives, Christophe Gouache, our co-directors and the founder of the Assocciation of Women In Art, Jemima Kulumba. We want to thank Maelle Delaplanche for the co-curation of the Biennale. We want to thank Sylvie Gormezano for her support and exchanges with all our artists. We want to thank Julia Montier for a support in logistics. We want to thank Samia Bouhjar for her help. We want to thank Chaguy Koy for his incredible engagement and support all along the biennale. We want to thank our crazy volunteers: Anne, Sylvie, Axelle, Alice, Pauline, Anne-Claire, Gery, Nayat, Barbara, Clémence, Marie-Ange, Anosone, Sam, Shady, Nadine, Nicolas, Nor, Caroline and all the others who came by to give us a hand. Thank you. 

Finally, we want to thank Delphine Houba, elected official of the City of Brussels in charge of Culture for her unconditional support from the beginning of this adventure. We want to thank Els Gossé and Nevruz Unal , elected officials from the Commune of Ixelles. We want to thank Perrine Ledan, elected official of the Commune of Uccle. Your support matters.

We’re incredibly grateful for your trust and for believing in the cause we’re fighting for. This is a first step, but a big one already in the long and challening adventure of making the art world a bit more sensitive to the unfairness of the gender inequalities which still exist. With your help, we are bringing change. So thank you. Again and again.

about the biennale

The Biennale of Women In Art is an NGO-run art event that aims to showcase the work of women artists, highlight their contributions to the history of art, and provide a space for dialogue and debate in order to demonstrate and gain recognition for their contributions to the art world today. The objective of the Biennale of Women in Art is to continue and amplify the movement, already initiated by various actors around the world, that contributes to establishing greater gender parity in art. 

The zero edition of the Biennale (prototype edition) will take place in Brussels in the Vanderborght space, from the 18th of March, 2024 to the 31st of March, 2024, and will focus on Belgian artists (or artists living in Belgium). We will showcase 25 contemporary women artists which you can already discover here. The Biennale will also host conferences, debates and worksohps. Please have a look at the agenda for more information.

The selection of the artists has been made by a double committee early 2023: the scientific committee and the citizens committee.
