Comment by bridget orman on February 8, 2018 at 1:36pm: THE POWER OF ART: Women's Voices in Africa from Claudine on Vimeo.

Explores how contemporary African women who choose to be professional artists claim their position, and deal with the stereotypes associated with being a woman, and being an African. The film also focuses on the role professional artists may play in addressing the challenges women are faced with on the African continent.
