Redbase Art Gallery proudly presents the group exhibition, the world is an uneven surface 2025 curated by Nicholas Tsoutas. Showcasing a collection of contemporary works by artists; Fuyann Pang, Jingru Mai and Meng Meng, this exhibition proposes the sharing of experiences of female Chinese artists across generational cultural divides particularly in relation to their attitudes on sexual preference, gender difference, new media games and fantasy, notions on contemporary matriarchy, as well as shifting perspectives in digital abstraction. 

With consideration to REDBASE’s women project in the context of International Women’s Day in 2025, Nicholas notes the Beijing Declaration during the Fourth World Conference on Women by the United Nations on the 15th of September 1995 that was established in support of and advocating for the equality of men and women. The UN ‘s socially and politically important declaration made its support abundantly clear that, the empowerment and advancement of women, including the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and belief, thus contributing to the moral, ethical, spiritual and intellectual needs of women and men, individually or in community with others and thereby guaranteeing them the possibility of realising their full potential in society and shaping their lives in accordance with their own aspirations. And it is in this context, and in the spirit of seeking change for women, that the 2025 exhibition, the world is an uneven surface, remains committed to exploring the art, dialogues, and exchanges between Chinese and Chinese-Australian women artists. The exhibition not only celebrates the extraordinary art of these women but does so by examining their art practices as a means of sharing values, differences, and ideas in an exchange of knowledge, art, and culture. By recognizing that the world is an uneven surface, the exhibition actively tries to critically invert the statement, in a bringing together, into a shared space, of women artists who can reinvent their worlds, where women artist who are actively engaged in conversations that are rethinking their relationships and their perceptions of the world around them.
