Atsuko Tanaka, Ti Gong, 1993

In 2016, it was a gamble. A group exhibition dedicated entirely to women artists, driven by Wang Wei with a clear conviction: that women's contribution to twentieth-century art was still too little seen, too little told. That gamble paid off. Nearly a decade later, the same curator returns with a more ambitious project. Echoes of Her Century brings together works by almost 200 artists from more than 20 countries, spanning from the early twentieth century to the present. Not a celebration, but a reconstruction: a century of art history told through the eyes of women. The journey begins in the 1920s, when the first women artists crossed continents to study Western painting, and reaches the present day, tracing decades of experimentation - painting, sculpture, installation, video - through which women artists redefined artistic languages and opened new conceptual horizons. The aim is straightforward: to bring the public face to face with these artists. To sense their presence, to understand their work. And to support them.
