A Woman’s World

EVENT DESCRIPTION

In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, Bamboo Scenes will host an exciting new exhibition honoring local female artists and exploring the thrilling possibilities of the Metaverse. On March 24, the Hong Kong-based curator of fine photography art prints will expand its curation beyond photography to open “A Woman’s World,” the first exhibition in Hong Kong—and Asia—to exclusively showcase NFTs by Hong Kong’s most talented female artists.

Since embarking on a new chapter in July 2021, Bamboo Scenes has moved its offerings into the digital realm, hosting well-received experiences and events online. Now, the brand is stepping into the rich world of the Metaverse to curate NFT art it loves. Bamboo Scenes is jumping into a world it fully believes in by hosting “A Woman’s World” in the Metaverse.

To present “A Woman’s World,” Bamboo Scenes has teamed up with Oncyber, a platform designed to display NFTs in an immersive 3D environment. Oncyber works with metaverse architects to create bespoke spaces that NFT collectors and artists can set up their own galleries to display NFTs.

The Concept
“A Woman’s World” is a celebration of female artistic power in Hong Kong—and the Metaverse. For the exhibition, Bamboo Scenes has handpicked five outstanding local female artists to showcase the possibilities of NFT art with a highly curated selection of digital art. Each artist has forged her own successful career in art and is now moving into the world of NFTs. From women in NFTs to the women of Web3, the future is female. And, as a female-founded and driven brand, this is an exciting moment for Bamboo Scenes.

As a fully virtual, immersive exhibition, visitors will be able to enjoy “A Woman’s World” wherever and whenever they like. From the moment the exhibition’s virtual doors open, visitors will be able to experience it for themselves from wherever in the world they are and—thanks to the 24/7 opening hours—at any time they choose to.

On entering the exhibition, visitors can experience every single piece of art through the high-quality 3D world rendered by Oncyber. Those with a virtual reality (VR) device can enjoy a rich life-like experience, but even those accessing the “metaspace” with their laptops or mobile devices will enjoy a fully immersive experience. Each artwork is also accompanied by detailed “Curator’s Notes” that take viewers further into the artist’s thoughts, allowing them to go beyond the merely visual, as is always Bamboo Scenes’ aim.
And to take it one step further, Bamboo Scenes’ team of curators will organize virtual talks with the artists, as well as a guided tour on their YouTube channel to fully delve into the stories behind the art.
