Welcome to the March 2026 newsletter from the Arts for Good Foundation. This month, in celebration of International Women's Day, I am pleased to support a printmaking exhibition organized by artists Lilin and Jiney. Their long-standing advocacy for amplifying women's voices has had a growing impact across diverse communities in Hong Kong and beyond, spanning Southeast Asia.
It is truly exciting that this exhibition has brought together over 38 women creators from cities including Manila, Hong Kong, Sabah, Shizuoka, Changsha, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Taipei, Guangzhou, New York, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Perth, and Helsinki. Each contributor brings her unique life story and cross-cultural experience to the project, weaving a rich tapestry of shared struggles, growth, and meaningful social, emotional, and spiritual connections within a space dedicated to women.
Over ten days in Sham Shui Po, the exhibition welcomed a warm crowd of visitors and hosted eight cultural events, including screenings, karaoke sessions, poetry readings, and community workshops. Women from the local community actively participated, sharing personal stories through their artworks, which were displayed in the space alongside other invited contributions. It is truly inspiring to witness the diverse roles they play within their communities and families and to see a platform that uplifts voices from all walks of life.
Focusing on women's creative production and its deeper meanings, the exhibition is filled with powerful narratives that provoke thought and emotion. It also prompts important questions: how do we value resilience, the spirit of co-learning and the positive energy and drive demonstrated by diverse talents? How can we better recognize and support these intangible qualities in talent development, especially among young people from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds, women on different life stages, and other marginalized or disadvantaged community members.
