The media is giving women a stronger voice – Multidisciplinary artist speaks: Video
As digital platforms continue to connect the world, women are being given more opportunities to lead and compete for top roles in various industries.
Multidisciplinary artist Anusha Alamgir believes that women are steadily taking centre stage in discussions and gaining the recognition they deserve.
The rise of social media and other visual platforms is shifting the narrative. In the past, women were often seen as secondary in male-dominated professions, but now, they are gaining visibility and influence.
For creative fields like the arts, Anusha is confident that female artists are finally able to showcase their talents on a larger scale. With platforms like social media, women can display their work and reach audiences in ways that were previously out of reach.
“I think especially now with this visual space that we have entered because of social media, we see women as being more at the centre stage. Even if we're talking about just musicians that are more celebrated now, like I think we see more because it is such a visual, visually driven media landscape that we are driving into,” Anusha Alamgir told Global South World.
“I think women now more than ever will have the time to call the shots. And I think being a woman artist in this day and age, it just will allow it, it will just continue to get progressively better for women.”
With the right tools and platforms to control their own narratives and show their work, Anusha is convinced that the contemporary woman has a bigger chance to call the shots in the professional world, rather than have to depend on men to do so.
