Woman Made Gallery (WMG) is proud to present “Drawing Resistance: The Artist’s Dilemma in Political Conflict,” a virtual group exhibition that explores the tensions artists face when navigating their creative practice in politically charged environments. The title plays on the dual meaning of “drawing”—as both a visual act and a metaphor for tracing boundaries, beliefs, or courage. In a world increasingly shaped by political unrest, censorship, and global crises, artists are often confronted with a critical question: What is my responsibility in the face of conflict? Must art speak truth to power—or is silence also a choice? Selections by WMG’s Program Committee include works that confront, reflect on, or challenge political realities—whether global or deeply personal.
