HVCCA is proud to present video artworks by women who use the medium to explore
the intricacies and dilemmas of gender, human relationships, and nation-centric
politics. Each of the selected artists has endowed her video with a very personal point
of view and simultaneously created a video that is meaningful to a larger audience.
The topics considered are of universal significance, and the viewers of these videos will
be inspired to think deeply about them.
