Yara Sameh The third edition of the Empowerment Her Art Forum (EHAF), organized by the Art Today Foundation for Arts, will be held at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) from May 16 to 20. This event will unite a distinguished group of female artists from around the globe, alongside ambassadors, diplomats, and notable figures from the realms of art, media, and culture. The Empowerment Her Art Forum serves as an international celebration of women's artistic achievements worldwide. Six talented artists from Germany—Marianne Pitzen, Andrea Isa, Consuelo Méndez, Daniela Flörsheim, Karola Teschler, and Yasemin Yilmaz—will showcase their work at the Grand Egyptian Museum. In return, six Egyptian artists will be welcomed in 2026 as part of the new initiative WE – Women in Exchange at the Women's Museum in Bonn. A highlight of this year's forum will be the recognition of Marianne Pitzen, the founder of the world's first women's museum in Bonn. Her decades-long commitment to promoting female art and developing international support programs makes her the ideal guest of honor for the forum. "We are delighted to be in Egypt and to exhibit our artworks at such an outstanding venue as GEM, and to use this opportunity to meet and network with art and artists from Egypt and around the world. Therefore, participating in such a significant event as EHAF 3 is particularly important for us artists." Pointed out Yasemin Yilmaz, one of the German artists participating in the event. This year's edition is held under the patronage of the Egyptian Ministries of Environment, Social Solidarity, Culture, and Youth & Sports. The forum aims to emphasize the crucial role of art as a powerful tool for women's empowerment, providing a dynamic platform that includes a visual art exhibition featuring exceptional works, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and live painting sessions. The event seeks to encourage cultural exchange and promote the values of peace, justice, and equality through creativity. Artist Sherine Badr, Founder and CEO of the Art Today Foundation, highlighted that the forum transcends a mere art event, evolving into a genuine platform for transformation and empowerment. Badr stated, 'We are not only celebrating creativity; we are dedicated to empowering female artists and providing them with the recognition and visibility they deserve by illuminating their inspiring journeys.' EHAF 2025 is supported by several esteemed institutions and organizations, including the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Social Solidarity, UNHCR, UN Women, the Spanish Embassy, the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo, and the Yunus Emre Turkish Cultural Center.
