Boleh ke?” (Can you?) – this question often follows female artists, and in fact, women from many fields of work, as it tends to set up societal barriers and limit the potential of women.

Looking to challenge this stereotype, especially in the Malaysian art scene, Nazura Rahime, curator of the exhibition Can She Do It?, has brought together an array of thought-provoking artworks from women artists. The exhibition, coinciding with International Women’s Day, is currently showing at Sime Darby Property KL East Sales Gallery till March 31.
