With the aspiration to connect women artists across the three regions of the North - Central - South, initiated in 2010, "Returning to the Red Land" is the 11th exhibition and the first to take place in Gia Lai - a red basalt land with the majestic beauty of the Central Highlands mountains and forests, where many unique indigenous cultures intersect.

The exhibition takes place from October 20 to November 10, 2025 at Pleiku Museum, with nearly 50 works by 30 artists on different materials, from oil paint, lacquer to Do paper and graphic materials, this exhibition is an opportunity for female artists to introduce their latest works to the Central Highlands public. Besides the differences in personality and style of the artists, each work here also shows the personal mark of each person in their own persistent creative journey, the desire to contribute, to be listened to and to express themselves in each person's inner voice through the language of painting.
