10.000 Steps International Women's Day Art Walk Rotterdam.

We will celebrate International Women's Day 2024 in Rotterdam this year with a unique - approximately 10,000 steps - Art Walk, highlighting art by women.

With this annual tradition, we bring people of all ages together to celebrate the diversity and creativity of women artists.

The route will take you through a selection of artworks, street art and locations that make us reflect on creativity and resilience and the role and power of women in art.

We will not only look at the work of female creators but also reflect on the imagination of women this year. Together, we experience stillness through nature experiences and discover the beauty in everyday spots and patterns as a tribute to artist Lizan Freijsen (1960-2024).

We start at the river Maas, and along the way, we encounter highlights such as Anne Wenzel's new monument, a moving tribute to women and men affected by World War II. We also admire Charlotte van Pallandt's sturdy Wilhelmina and Madeleine Berkhemer's playful Lost Pearl. In the Kunsthal's display window, we peek at Machteld Rullens' Scrap Yard Abstraction and pass by Kalliope Lemos' Braid from her Tools of Endearment series. At the station, we will visit Moments Contained, a 4-metre-high bronze sculpture of a strong, confident woman who is also vulnerable at the same time. We let our imaginations run wild at Margot Zanstra's block-built sculpture, perhaps the most beautiful abstraction of a tree. Loeki Metz's façade relief makes us reflect on the changing city and the evolving neighbourhood.

Along the way, guide Anne-Marie Ros invites you to look at art and stay together in the moment by being aware of your surroundings. The walk will change your perspective and allow you to share, reflect and appreciate women's contributions to art and society.

Afterwards, we can drink and chat in the recently opened Bergweg Station in North.

The walk will go ahead regardless of the weather!
