The Womanifesto Way is a Digital Edition by Power Publications. It allows the reader to explore the history of Womanifesto a women-centred arts collective that began in Thailand in 1995, through essays, images, videos and networked connections.
Womanifesto is a women-centred arts collective that began in Thailand in 1995. Womanifesto has worked with more than 150 collaborators from 45 countries.
The ethos of this diverse and dispersed group of artists, sometimes called the Womanifesto way, celebrates hospitality, communal activity and togetherness, focusing on the position of women and the wealth of women’s knowledge. Womanifesto strengthens connections between artists internationally and engages local communities to promote new forms of artistic expression.
Through exhibitions, workshops, artists’ residencies, and other in-person and online programmes, Womanifesto links practitioners from Thailand with regional and international artists, highlighting shared cultures and establishing fresh exchanges. Many voices, and many ways of making and knowing are cherished and championed.
This publication features a wide variety of contributions, far exceeding those found in a typical monograph or scholarly volume, in a way that is consistent with Womanifesto’s ethos of inclusiveness and hospitality. Conventional, scholarly essays appear alongside more experimental and unconventional texts, as well as images, and audiovisual contributions. English, Thai, and other languages commingle.
