Female role models
With the presentation Women in Street Art, STRAAT - in collaboration with ABN AMRO - aims to put the spotlight on influential female street artists. The museum hopes to encourage aspiring(female) artists to develop their talent and contribute to equal opportunities for all. STRAAT showcases work by several influential female street artists, including George Rose, Adele Renault, Milu Correch, Gleo, Hera of Herakut, and Judith de Leeuw. During the course of the exhibition, artworks by Dutch graffiti icon Mick La Rock will be added to the collection. Internationally renowned street artist Lady Aiko and Dutch street artist/muralist Nina Valkhoff will be working on a new artwork in STRAAT
Empowering women
‘Women in Street Art’ is a collaboration of STRAAT and ABN AMRO who believe in a proportional representation of female artists in the collection and join forces in a new partnership. Together they will collectively generate more attention and visibility for female role models, and thereby create gender-equal opportunities in the scene with the exhibition and by offering packages for schools. The organizations also works with WOMEN INC.. Using their equal opportunity knowledge and expertise, WOMEN Inc. advises the bank and its cultural partners on how to achieve their goals.
