BRIDGE2WORLDS24 — PUNE

by with No Comment Art ExhibitionArt Workshop & Live AuctionArt Workshop Live & OnlineCuratingUncategorized

The BRIDGE2WORLDS24 Pune is a landmark initiative celebrating the voices of 60 young and senior female artists, all under one banner — a unique moment of convergence for creative expression, emotional healing, and collective growth in the post-pandemic world.

As curator Radha Binod Sharma eloquently states, art is a universal unspoken language — a sacred tool that allows us to connect with ourselves and each other. In a time when the world seeks harmony and direction, artistic expression becomes not just relevant but essential.

Empowering women in art has been a core mission of the IMA Foundation since 2008. With BRIDGE2WORLDS24, this mission deepens — addressing the imbalance caused by suppression of the feminine spirit, and helping restore equilibrium in our collective consciousness.

This event stands as a powerful reflection of resilience, creativity, and the feminine voice, offering the public an immersive and interactive experience that not only celebrates beauty but also encourages meaningful dialogue.

“We are all creative geniuses, but remaining so is the challenge.” — Pablo Picasso
