Three Taiwanese artists are taking part in the WOMEN我們 exhibition, which this year is being held online by the Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
First held in Shanghai in 2011, the annual exhibition has been showcased in different places over the years, including Miami and San Francisco.
It is “an ongoing series which explore feminism, gender diversity, and sexual equality,” the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco’s Web site says.

The month of March is typically dedicated to honoring mighty women and shining a light on the impactful ways they have brought change and contributed to the improvement of equal rights through the ages.
Women’s History Month is celebrated across the U.S. and around the world and corresponds with International Women’s Day (March 8). Bay Area organizations plan to recognize the celebration with a variety of virtual performances, activities and lectures aimed at highlighting women’s and girls’ power all month long.
