‘Wide Awoke’- Are Female Artists Worth Collecting? with Juta Jazz

This time in our latest ‘Wide Awoke’ article Juta Jazz depicts her answer to ‘Are female artists worth collecting?’ in this creative video – take a look…

In our ‘Wide Awoke’ section, we initially tackled a thought-provoking discussion at the Tate Museum in London. Recently, an article by Helen Gorrill in The Guardian highlighted concerns that female artists may be facing greater challenges now than they did in the 1990s. Gorrill stated, “Today, when men’s artwork is signed, it goes up in value; conversely, when work by women is signed, it goes down in value. The addition of a woman’s signature can devalue artwork to the extent that female artists are more likely to leave their work unsigned.” She further criticises the Tate for seemingly collecting only a ‘token’ proportion of work by women, despite women constituting 74% of fine art graduates.

This article sparked significant discussion here at TheAppWhisperer HQ, as addressing these issues is at the heart of our new Women section. To delve deeper, we reached out to several female mobile artists and posed the question, “Are Female Artists Worth Collecting?” We invited them to create short videos responding to our subheading, ‘Wide Awoke’. Today, we are thrilled to publish the latest video in this series, featuring the talented female artist Juta Jazz.

We hope you find this new section engaging, and we encourage everyone to leave comments below. While it focuses on women’s issues, we warmly invite all individuals, regardless of gender, to view and participate in the conversation.
