“As the 2nd Red Delima women work exhibition, the theme raised, namely Women and the City, really touched us. One of the roles of women in Telkom University is to maintain, develop and also inspire the character of this HEI, “She said.
Dr. Rina Pudji Astuti also explained that character can not only be conveyed through the knowledge taught in class but what is important is that there are examples as role models. This will be an example for the nation’s future generations.
This event presented a well-known poet and curator, Noorca M. Massardi. Noorca said that the theme raised at this exhibition is closely related to today’s world.
“Women and cities are two things that cannot be separated, women cannot be separated from cities and cities cannot exist without women. So the theme is very interesting and from the works that appear at this exhibition, it can be seen that the female teachers from the Creative Industry Faculty are very polite, maybe because they take values ??from Harmony, Excellence, and Integrity, “She said.
Noorca also said that through the works displayed at this exhibition, according to her, women seemed to have made peace with the city and had united without any resistance. Women and the City coexist together in the works that are produced.
“This exhibition is very interesting and I think it should be continued, happy exhibiting.”
