WHO RUN THE (ART) WORLD?
A list of 20 influential emerging female artists, art workers and creative practitioners, who will shape Australian arts in 2020.

It's a list that looks forward, to who is shaping the era we are moving into: for us, influence is about the capacity to shape the conversation, create opportunities for dialogue, spaces for practice and presentation of work, or changing the way we look at the modes/materials/methods of practice. 

The So(Hot)Right(Now) IWD program will also include BIG WIGS segments, acknowledge the women driving the most influential institutions across the arts: from leaders in POLICY and PHILANTHROPY to influential CEOs, GENERAL MANAGERS and GALLERISTS, as well as the CURATORS and ARTISTS who dominate the Australian arts and cultural sector today.
We will deliver a segment on each of these areas, tipping our hats at these power players, but also speaking to them about how major roles for women in the arts helps - or doesn't - in correcting gender inequities. 

We ask: are there still obstacles for women in accessing the arts, or climbing the ladder in the arts world? Does more women running institutions and curating shows, or festivals, necessarily mean more work by, about or for women on our stages, screens and gallery walls?
