Female power
He Xiangning was a revolutionary social activist and avid advocate of women's rights, recognized as one of the nation's greatest women of the 20th century. She was also a gifted artist who left a body of paintings and calligraphy and co-created works with prominent painters of her time.
Since its opening in 1997, the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, has championed women artists and organized exhibitions to showcase their progress during the 20th century. The Rhyme of My Heart, an exhibition running throughout March, displays selected artworks by women that the museum has collected. It gathers Chinese paintings, oil works, watercolors, paper-cuttings, installations and mixed-media created since the 1980s, glimpsing into the intimate inner worlds of female artists, collective social experiences and their thoughts on cultural identity.
