Third 'Empower Her Art Forum' to launch at Grand Egyptian Museum
The third edition of the Empower Her Art Forum, organised by the Art Today Foundation for Arts, will take place at the Grand Egyptian Museum from 16 to 20 May. The event will feature female artists from around the world, alongside ambassadors, diplomats, public figures, and art, media, and culture icons.
The international forum, which celebrates the artistic achievements of women, is held under the patronage of the Egyptian Ministries of Environment, Social Solidarity, Culture, Youth & Sports, Tourism and Antiquities, and The Egyptian Tourism Authority.
The forum aims to highlight art's role in women's empowerment through a visual art exhibition, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and live painting sessions. Organisers say the event seeks to foster cultural exchange and promote values of peace, justice, and equality.
This year's edition will feature over 200 female artists from more than 35 countries. The opening ceremony is expected to be attended by dignitaries, diplomats, and artists.
Artist Sherine Badr, Founder and CEO of Art Today Foundation, stated that the forum is 'a true platform for transformation and empowerment.' Badr said, 'We are not only celebrating creativity, we are striving to empower female artists and give them the recognition and visibility they deserve by shedding light on their inspiring journeys.'
She added that this year's edition includes lectures and discussions on modern art evolution, alongside hands-on workshops led by international female artists. The forum will also focus on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the artistic process and as art appreciators.
A cooperation protocol will be signed between Art Today Foundation and the Women's Museum in Bonn, Germany, which will include travel grants for five Egyptian female visual artists.
The forum will be open to art enthusiasts, aiming to embody the convergence of civilisations through art and reflect its mission of empowering women.
EHAF 2025 (referring to the 2024 event) is supported by institutions including the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Social Solidarity, UNHCR, UN Women, the Spanish Embassy, the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo, and the Yunus Emre Turkish Cultural Centre. Additional support comes from Rosa Flowers, Sanad Foundation, and Fresh Farm, with EgyptAir as the official carrier.

The exhibition will feature approximately 250 exceptional artifacts carefully selected from several Egyptian museums, including the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, Luxor Museum of Ancient Egyptian Art, Suez National Museum and Sohag National Museum. The exhibition will showcase recently excavated artifacts from the Saqqara archaeological site, alongside a carefully curated selection of items presently exhibited in the 'At the Summit of the Pyramid: Civilization of Ancient Egypt' exhibition in Shanghai. The exhibition focuses on three key themes: Royal Egypt, the Era of Tutankhamun, and Archaeological Discoveries from Saqqara. Following the signing ceremony, an international press conference was held to commemorate the partnership, drawing extensive media coverage both locally and internationally. In his remarks, Khaled described the exhibition as a cultural gateway to over 5,000 years of Egyptian history, marking the start of an exceptional cultural journey that deepens cooperation between Egypt and China. He described the exhibition as a timeless cultural dialogue that bridges past and present, reflecting the artistic and creative values shared by two of the world's great civilizations. He added that the inclusion of artifacts from the ongoing exhibition in Shanghai underscores its remarkable success and strong public reception in China, expressing confidence that the Hong Kong exhibition will enjoy similar acclaim and provide a rich and distinguished cultural experience. He concluded by extending an open invitation to the people of Hong Kong, Asia, and the international community to visit the exhibition and explore the wonders of ancient Egyptian civilization, saying this event marks the beginning of a new chapter in cultural and archaeological cooperation between Egypt and China. Louis Ng underlined that China and Egypt are cradles of two of the world's oldest civilizations, united by enduring cultural and historical bonds. He described the exhibition as a milestone in cultural exchange between the two nations and a testament to the museum's dedication to promoting intercultural dialogue and advancing mutual understanding through cultural engagement.
