WOMEN as Storytellers, Makers and Leaders

Something powerful is brewing...

Stories whispered through thread.

Voices rising through pages.

Frames lit by vision.

This March, Women as Storytellers, Makers and Leaders unfolds at Carpe Diem Art Gallery as a month-long celebration honouring women’s creativity, voices, skills, and collective strength.

WOMEN

As STORYTELLERS, MAKERS & LEADERS

is on its way — and it’s not just an event, it’s an energy.

Expect bold ideas, quiet strength, untold stories, and the kind of magic that happens when women gather to create, lead, and inspire.

Rather than confining the celebration to a single day, the programme spans the entire month of March, recognising the many ways women continue to shape our world — as storytellers, makers, and leaders across art, literature, cinema, craft, community work, and everyday life. Through exhibitions, interactive talks, workshops, film screenings, and book readings, the gallery becomes a living space of dialogue, reflection, and shared experience.

At the heart of the programme is an all-women group exhibition featuring powerful visual works centred on textile and thread-based practices. The exhibition brings together artists including Clarice Vaz, Rani Sarin, Asha Naik, Elizabeth Kemp, Bipasha Sen Gupta, and Eleanor Viegas, each exploring fabric, memory, labour, and identity through deeply personal and political expressions.

A highlight of the celebration is The Banyan Tree Project — a striking hand-embroidered mural created collectively by over two hundred women from Goa and beyond, coordinated by Eleanor Viegas. Much like the banyan tree itself, the work symbolises interconnectedness, resilience, and shared roots.

  We are delighted to invite you to the opening of our exhibition 

Women as Storytellers, Makers & Leaders 

on 1st March at 6:30 pm 

The exhibition will be on view throughout March, from Wednesday to Sunday, between 10 am and 7 pm.

We will also soon share details of the movie screenings, book readings, and hands-on workshops planned throughout the month — we look forward to having you be part of this vibrant series of events.
