Perceptions about women have been a subject in every women artists' works. Studies about women's influence on women artists can be obtained from many sources, such as books, literature, journals, and also the internet. Women artists also play a part in spreading the information. But works won't execute a good concept without great technique comprehension. It depends on how an artist understands the materials used. Mediums and materials are things every artist should master.
ISA Art & Design presents a group exhibition showcasing women artists curated by Syagini Ratna Wulan, a notable Indonesian Modern & Contemporary artist. Syagini and ISA Art & Design have chosen to introduce 16 diverse and dynamic groups of artists that have been exploring different art mediums that open up a host of possibilities. This exhibit enables the sharing of individual experiences with unexpected materials and unconventional methods of creating.
The sixteen female participating artists are; Aurora Arazzi, Corinne De San Jose, Dawn Ng, Donna Ong, Ella Wijt, Elia Nuvista, Etza Meisyara, Erna Garnasih, Ines Katamso, Kanoko Takaya, Nicole Coson, Sekarputi Sidhawati, Tara Kasenda, Yosefa Aulia, Leyla Stevens, and Vienasty Rezqina. This Exhibition is planned to be held on June 4 at ISA Art Gallery and August 5 at Selasar Sunaryo Bandung.

Infusions into Contemporary
The National Gallery of Indonesia, which has hosted some of the country’s most prominent artworks, exhibitions, and cultural activities since 1999 will be showcasing 10 established women artists in an exhibition entitled Indonesian Women Artists #3: Infusions Into Contemporary Art
The exhibition is features women artists who were born between 1948–1969, have undoubtedly brought fresh outlooks to the contemporary Indonesian art scene with their active, often provocative artistic endeavors — such as Arahmaiani, Dolorosa Sinaga, Melati Suryodarmo, Mella Jaarsma, Sri Astari Rasyid, Titarubi, Bibiana Lee, Dyan Anggraini, Indah Arsyad, and Nunung W.S..
The featured artworks strongly reflect this curatorial premise, as they do not seek to represent these artists’ womanhood. Instead, the works unveil the artists’ criticisms of global issues including historical, political, or environmental — which affect them and their local and international communities. The exhibition will be held from March 30 to April 24, 2022.
