Launch of Voices of Women Virtual Museum and Website

ABOUT

MTN SA Foundation and the Voices of Women (VoW) Museum celebrate another partnership milestone with the launch of the VoW Museum website.

It is the 12 th year since Voices of Women announced the establishment of the Voices of Women Museum (VoWM). This small but significant initiative features narratives and textiles, exhibitions, concepts, and ideas by, for, and of women. The body of work forms a collective voice of untold stories and women less heard; and is situated within the grand historical and collective narrative that has often omitted this feminine perspective.

The museum hosts a collection of women's narratives gathered over many years, initially as the Amazwi Abesifazane project that later became the substantial collection for the museum, which has grown ever since.

Our South African democracy is almost 30 years in existence - one that sought to acknowledge all its citizens - equally. “Within this context, we have been able to reflect on who we are; and on our contributions to this vision where women are recognised as equal in all spheres.” says Coral Bijoux, curator and director for the VoWM.

The MTN SA Foundation and VoWM invites you to join them as they engage these multiple conversations, while celebrating the Voices of Women Virtual Museum, new website and the wonderful projects of the young women who have worked hard behind the scenes.
