Women Make Art History seeks to provoke discussion about women in art. For their first new project in East Asia, the Guerrilla Girls examine the status of women at Art Basel itself and in the Hong Kong art world. Their installation at the AAA booth deploys their signature blend of humour, bold graphics, and statistics culled from online and published sources to call viewers to action, and invites them to contribute with their own observations.
Also on display is a selection of highlights from AAA’s Collection and research projects, focusing on the autonomous women’s movement in India in the late 1970s and 1980s; the Pakistan-based artist Salima Hashmi; portraits of women artists in China taken by art historian and curator Joan Lebold Cohen; and exhibitions of women artists from across Asia in the 1990s and 2000s, as represented by their catalogues.
All events are free and open to the public.
Venue: Booth P7, Art Basel in Hong Kong, Level 1 Concourse, Hong Ko

Shoaib Hashmi (1938 – 2023) You will be missed dearly – tribute to many years of Theatre, Arts, Life & Love!
“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts”
William Shakespeare
With profound grief, we bid farewell to an intellectual, humorist, playwright, educationist, and above all a gentle soul. Shoaib Hashmi – he led where others followed. He carved a path with his signature wit that left us with a smile and so many memories onscreen. From Akkar Bakkar and Sach Gupp to Taal Matol… he redefined humor onscreen lending it a class of its own.
Shoaib Hashmi will always be remembered as a mentor and teacher to those who knew him and as an invaluable loss to our entertainment, theatrical, cultural and educational sphere.
He was known for his quick wit, fluent sarcasm, love for teaching and his prowess of his craft. One of a kind, with the ability to be comical
