What does it take to create spaces where women artists can be seen, supported and given room to grow?In Part 2 of The Girls Are Alright, Proof of Life sits down with Abongile Matintela for a conversation about curation, visibility, community and the responsibility that comes with creating opportunities for artists.Abongile reflects on the purpose behind the exhibition and the importance of giving emerging artists, including first-time exhibitors, a platform that can help move their careers forward. She also speaks about the relationship between art and politics, and the way creative work can hold personal, social and political expression at the same time.The conversation explores the challenges of curating from a deep pool of talent, the role intuition plays in choosing work, and the importance of building trust with artists through consistency, honesty and understanding.The episode also looks at the wider creative community around the exhibition, bringing together visual artists, designers, musicians and photographers while creating opportunities for people to connect beyond their individual disciplines.At the heart of The Girls Are Alright is a celebration of women supporting women, creating their own spaces and continuing to build within industries where visibility and opportunity still matter deeply.The evening closes by bringing that same spirit into the room through Proof of Life’s Connection Cards, encouraging attendees to meet intentionally, build new relationships and allow the experience to continue beyond the exhibition itself.#ProofOfLife #TheGirlsAreAlright #AbongileMatintela #WomenInArt #CreativeCommunity
