Both professional artists and beginners have done the beautiful exhibits on display.Although the artworks have different messages they all centre on women and the challenges that they face in their daily lives. As a result some of the artworks confront the politics of gender, female cultural identity, the inherent social conflict as well as institutionalised disparities. In other words, with their artworks, the women artists are using art as a tool to effectively challenge a number of complex issues that have dogged society from time immemorial. Each piece on display is open to various interpretations, however.
For example, a piece called Try Walking in My Shoes by Kate Kwati stands out and would grab any connoisseur's attention. It shows two sets of heels one of which is stuffed with thorns. According to Kwati's explanation earlier, she said that women still manage to walk tall despite the challenges they face daily. The thorns represent those challenges while the heels emphasise the fact that though it's hard to walk in high heels, women do still manage to go that extra mile in their quest to succeed. Another interesting piece on display is called The Armour by Tumelo Kgomotso, which shows a chest of open drawers with threads attached to a belt hanging and a circle of lipstick surrounding cologne. The armour reflects some of the things that a woman often uses to prepare and arm herself to look good on a daily basis. The last piece that also manages to capture attention is by Ivy Radipodi, called Frozen Eggs. Though the piece is colourful and attractive at the front, its message is not at the front but at the back. The piece shows half the body of a woman hanging and the back shows eggs with threads and two pegs clipped on the reproductive parts of a woman, indicating her inability to bear children. Other artworks on display include the pieces done by Naledi Segokgo, Neo Matome, Renee Khonat, Sedireng Motlhabitsela and Veryan Edwards.
