Logo

The Chinese character for “woman” is hidden in a cloud to help convey the sense that something is missing from making Mao’s statement ring true. Colors also add to the sense of uncertainty, as green and gold are more evocative of the ground.

the challenge

Decades ago, Mao Zedong declared that “Women hold up half the sky,” acknowledging that women are essential to China’s success. Yet even today, China’s female artists are severely underrepresented. To bring international attention to this problem, Half the Sky showcases art from 22 of China’s most talented female artists working today.
