Women as Storytellers, Makers & Leaders

Women as Storytellers, Makers and Leaders unfolds at Carpe Diem Art Gallery as a month-long celebration honouring women’s creativity, voices, skills, and collective strength.

Rather than confining the celebration to a single day, the programme spans the entire month of March, recognising the many ways women continue to shape our world — as storytellers, makers, and leaders across art, literature, cinema, craft, community work, and everyday life. Through exhibitions, interactive talks, workshops, film screenings, and book readings, the gallery becomes a living space of dialogue, reflection, and shared experience.

At the heart of the programme is an all-women group exhibition featuring powerful visual works centred on textile and thread-based practices. The exhibition brings together artists including Clarice Vaz, Rani Sarin, Asha Naik, Elizabeth Kemp, Bipasha Sen Gupta, and Eleanor Viegas, each exploring fabric, memory, labour, and identity through deeply personal and political expressions
