In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the National Institute for Women (INAMUJER), the National Art Gallery (GAN) opened its doors to the photographic exhibition called Venezuela Mujer, which pays tribute to female empowerment.

According to information from Venezolana de Televisión, the photographer of this creative exhibition, Joel Ochoa, said that Venezuela Mujer is the selection of 41 photographs that began on June 11, 2012, when Commander Hugo Chávez, accompanied by the people, went to the National Electoral Council (CNE) to register his application for the third presidential term in Venezuela.

The director of Communications at INAMUJER also explained that, “this collection captures the diversity and richness of women's experiences in the country, showing women of different ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Each image tells a story of struggle, hope and empowerment; reflecting the essence of women who, despite difficulties, continue to dream and work for a better future.”

For her part, the Minister of Popular Power for Women and Gender Equality, Jhoanna Carrillo, said that this gallery “allows us to see the faces not only of women, but also of the struggles”.

He stated that the Great Venezuela Women's Mission (GMVM), created by President Nicolás Maduro, allows the culture of feminist socialism to unfold in every territory. “Here we see those faces of empowered women, liberated women, women who pay tribute to a Venezuela that greens every day,” she said.

For his part, the Minister of Popular Power for Culture, Ernesto Villegas, affirmed that Venezuela Mujer shows the faces of fighters and warriors, who do not and will not declare themselves defeated, and they also understand that the country is a woman.

For this reason, the head of Culture invited all Venezuelans to come to the spaces of the GAN, to enjoy the exhibition, which will be available to the public until December 5, 2024, from 08:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
