17-year-old Australian student takes to the canvas
In March 2018, AWA organized a world-wide event called ‘AWA around the world’, which saw the participation of universities, schools and museums across the globe, including Italy, the US, England, Ireland, Korea, the Netherlands, Malta… and Australia. Participants were invited to watch an AWA documentary and use it as a springboard for discussion on how to support art by women in their own work and lives. In September, 17-year-old Jasmine Salvato, a student at De La Salle Catholic College in Australia, took the invitation to heart, producing a moving portrait paying tribute to two women who have inspired us all across generations: Florentine painter Plautilla Nelli and AWA founder Jane Fortune. We are sharing it here, as an AWA Highlight!
