So, we want to bring the local community&#13;<br \/>\ntogether to change this difficult conversation into something more relatable \u2013&#13;<br \/>\nart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ExtraOrdinary Exhibition features over 40 artworks from&#13;<br \/>\nlocal and international artists, carrying paintings, photography, sculptures,&#13;<br \/>\nand NFT art. Each piece carefully selected from Hong Kong&#8217;s rising artists like&#13;<br \/>\nClaudia Chanhoi, Ka Ying Wong, Vox Vanguard, and more, to interpret a woman&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nlife experience. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reimer&#13;<br \/>\nsays the foundation&#8217;s community and outreach has grown exponentially with many&#13;<br \/>\ninterests from businesses, corporates, and high-level individuals. A women-led&#13;<br \/>\nand women-focused insurance brokerage firm, Alea, begins their partnership with&#13;<br \/>\nKLF to raise awareness on women-related health issues and donating a portion of&#13;<br \/>\neach of their sales to support all their programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To&#13;<br \/>\nfurther spread the word of women&#8217;s health and risks of gynaecological cancer,&#13;<br \/>\nKLF and the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (HKYAF) has released a dance film&#13;<br \/>\ntitled, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iRhgGm5gRBs\">BREATHE<\/a>&#8220;, embodying&#13;<br \/>\nthe feminine experience. Directed by Lindsey McAllister, the choreography&#13;<br \/>\ndelves into the emotional toll of one who would suffer from cancer and hopes&#13;<br \/>\nthat this art of expression will resonate with the audience and bring light to&#13;<br \/>\nwomen&#8217;s wellbeing. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds&#13;<br \/>\nraised from the art exhibition will be used to fund all of KLF&#8217;s programs to&#13;<br \/>\neducate, prevent, and provide support services to women at risk of gynecological&#13;<br \/>\ncancer.
