One of the best ways to bring issues of women and equality to the public’s attention is through art. It is with that in mind that the European Union of Women Marina Alta (EUWMA) is holding its third annual Art Exhibition, Unity in Diversity this time in the prestigious gallery in La Senieta, Moraira, between 15th and 30th May, with the kind collaboration of the Town Hall of Teulada Moraira.

Eighteen female artists from the Marina Alta have painted to the theme ‘Unity in Diversity: highlighting the power of solidarity across cultures, generations and communities. Jenny Morrison, also a member of EUWMA, gives us a sneak peek of her painting ‘Embracing Unique Differences’ which she says is about the interconnectedness of life on this planet. ‘We are all connected, and this piece shows a ‘Unity In Diversity’. My bright metallic colours meld from one figure to another, depicting different cultures from around the world. Painting is my passion, and I love experimenting, allowing the painting to guide me through a new and exciting adventure. To achieve my goals, I use brushes, spatulas, credit cards, sponges, and anything that will enhance the painting, with beautiful colours and movement.’

Emma Lawton, the curator (and one of the artists) of the exhibition invites residents and holiday makers alike to come and be inspired. ‘This will be a festival of colour celebrating the diverse world we live in and reflecting the special light that fascinates the artists of the Marina Alta who come from far and wide to live here’. The exhibition will start with celebration as Voces de Gaia have been invited to perform.
