Guest of Honour, Dr. Sanjay Gupta (Vice Chancellor, WUD) opined, “Women have come a long way marking a niche for themselves and at the same time supporting the people they love, their families and friends. They have proved to be the backbone of the socio-economic machinery of every nation therefore expressing gratitude towards them in some form or the other can never be enough. Their contribution has been enormous and has mostly gone unrecognized. At WUD, we believe creative fields know no genders, they are just meant to be nurtured by souls.“

PRESS RELEASE
World University of Design presented ‘YAJNASENI’
on International Women’s Day 2021
An Art Show to celebrate the fable called ‘Woman’
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, World University of Design celebrated one of the finest creations of Mother nature – the woman. A spectacular art show variegated with art works from three different genres of Indian female artists – senior, young and budding – awed one and all at RKG Art and Culture Center, 7-B, Basement, Dr. C.V. Raman Road, near Gurudwara, New Friends Colony, New Delhi on Friday, March 5th, 2021. The exhibition would continue showcasing the creations until Friday, March 12th, 2021.
‘YAJNASENI’ in its literal sense means “Born Out of Fire” and implies the various hurdles a woman has combated in her journey as she has evolved through the eras of time. ‘YAJNASENI’ – The Women Art Show is an attempt to showcase this particular fruition of women as a tribe, questioning the equation of domination and subordination. The show had been conceptualized so as to allow the audiences to view Draupadi as an individual in a parallel world where she is liberated whilst keeping her original image from the Mahabharata intact. The idea is to let the audience imbibe the cultural image of Draupadi by using her alter ego Yajnaseni which is exactly how the woman today sees herself – anchored to her roots yet living a free life on her own terms.
‘YAJNASENI’ will be featuring the Senior Artists to name few among many are Aishwarya Sultania, Bharti Prajapati, Bhavani GS, Dimple B Shah, Gayatri Apte, Gayatri Mathur, Gouri Vemula, Hemavathy Guha, Neerja Chandna Peters, Ruchi Chadha, Sangeeta Gupta, Shuchi Khanna, Sushma Yadav and Stephanie Arpels. Amongst the younger artists are Asma Bi, Aastha Mishra, Avni Bansal, Jyoti Bansal, Samridhi Khandelwal, Shweta Sharma, Sneha Lakhotia, Tanvi Jain and Tisha Mavi constituted the upcoming line of artists.
Curator Akansha Wadhwani, Assistant Professor at World University of Design said, “It’s high time we shift the paradigm towards creation of equal opportunities for women. On this occasion my sincere notes of appreciation also go out to the Men who help women come out of their traditional avatars into a more empowered, opinionated and constructive individual who can carve out paths to an egalitarian ecosystem.”
Chief Guest Shri Dinesh K Patnaik, Director General, Indian Council for Cultural Relations said, “The exceptionally curated art show consisted of 30-35 vibrant pieces of art, artists who came together and portrayed their rendition of the woman then and the woman now. The mix of emotions, depictions and expertise owing to the different age groups and backgrounds of the artists made the event strikingly unique. The art pieces, though different from each other yet weaved in together beautifully into a fabric that hummed the fluidity of the feminine soul in the form of a mystical melody – strong yet delicate“.

Dr Malini Saba, Founder & Chairman, Saba Group says: ‘Being a woman is about multitasking whereas finding balance. We’re kind but not weak; strong but gentle; intelligent but humble; passionate but rational to turn our dreams into visions. We still have a long way to go for equal wages, violence against women and girls persists & we still fall behind men in terms of education, healthcare, and equal opportunities. I focus on hiring mainly women to create a culture in male dominated spaces.
We should never put ourselves second to someone else, sometimes we might be the only person standing in the way to our success. Never allow your husband’s fears or your fears to keep you from reaching for the stars, stick through your vision no matter what someone else says to you. If you fail do it again, do not sell your values & soul to be accepted, and never give up. You will get there and it would be beyond your wildest dreams. I believe that media plays an important role to show the strength of millions of women who have achieved success despite hardship and drive the path for women’s leadership. Being bold for change means having the courage to stand up and speak up — not just for yourself, but for others. Stand firm and be proud that we have come this far despite the hurdles and kept being better at what we do. Stop trying hard to fit in – you’re born to stand out.”
