About "Her Voice" Art Gallery
Her Voice Art Gallery is a contemporary African art gallery dedicated to the development of artistic potential, supporting women artists, and promoting African female art. Since 2021, our work has been carried out within the framework of charitable activities and art education. With the launch of the AWAA project in 2024, our focus has shifted specifically to gallery activities. The gallery fosters not only the self-realization of African women artists but also the creation of projects addressing themes of female experience, gender issues, and social aspects influencing women's lives.

One of our key focuses is the reevaluation of women's roles in society — both in traditional cultures and the modern world. Despite the significant contributions of women to culture and public life, they continue to face numerous barriers, including lack of educational opportunities, financial instability, and inequality in rights. We aim to make their stories visible, using art as a tool for reflection and the creation of a new reality
Exibitions and events
AWAA Exhibition in Barcelona
The African Women in Art Award exhibition is travelling to Spain, where it will be presented from 14 to 23 October.

The African Women in Art Award is an international initiative created to support and promote women artists from Sub-Saharan Africa. AWAA helps both emerging and established artists gain access to the international art scene, reach new audiences, and find opportunities for further professional development.

The theme of AWAA 2025, “Initiation,” explores transformation, identity, cultural heritage, and personal growth. This year, artists approached the idea of transition, change, and new experiences from different perspectives, connecting it with personal stories and cultural traditions.

The current exhibition in Barcelona presents works by the finalists and winners of AWAA 2025, alongside works by artists who participated in AWAA 2024, continuing the award’s international exhibition program and bringing together artists from different editions of the competition.

"Krista Uvaze, winner in the Mixed Visual Media category, shared her perspective: “This is a unique opportunity for women artists to present their work beyond their home countries. This year’s theme, ‘Initiation,’ allowed me to show works that would have been difficult to present in another context.”"
