Unlock a universe of meaning and magic as Souland Gallery heralds the arrival of Framed Women Between Heaven and Earth– a fantastic new show by the immensely talented Maloe Vansant. So, get your diaries out and put December 12th at 1 PM SLT in red and be with us at this great reveal, when finally Maloe will have her own dedicated showcase room in store.
The elements of light and shadow and the representation of human emotions have from the start been the main topics of Maloe Vansant’s art. In Framed Women Between Heaven and Earth, Framed Women triumphantly, Maloe reveals the primary female image and explores the spirituality of life and relationships between earthly women and celestial ones. Every one of them reflects the fine line between power and fragility and depicts women as people with real bodies and angels with wings.
In recognition to this, the Souland Gallery has seen it fit to developed a room strictly for art works from Maloe. This is a new development for the gallery and for Maloe and continues to provide the viewers with an ongoing chance to be captivated by her emotional work.
So to kick start this propitious event, Souland Gallery is organizing a colourful launch sale. For the second time, Maloe’s inspiring art will complement ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s tunes to which the invited DJ Nikopol will return the night basics in beats.
Julana Allen has done a fantastic job in curating what has become the destination for art enthusiasts as well as artists in Souland Gallery. This is a passion that Julana has for sharing works of art from a variety of artists which makes sure that the Maloe’s work is given the kind of attention and respect that it needs.
The opening of Maloe Vansant’sFramed Women Between Heaven and Earth is not simply the presentation of artwork – it is a celebration of creative freedom and the will to make art in a world that increasingly tells women that they do not belong there. It is a call, an open call to be part of the theatre of dreams, a place where even the images are speaking, where every corner murmurs softly secrets and where each visitor is in one way or another, an actor of a most extraordinary play.
Sit back and put on your best outfit to pay homage to Maloe Vansant and to art while being surrounded by great company as we continue to make Souland Gallery a center for artistry for the Second Life community.

It’s that time of year again when we unite, reflect, and act. Together, we “Orange the World” to support the UN Women’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. This annual campaign runs from November 25th—the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women—to December 10th, Human Rights Day.
This year’s global theme is “Towards Beijing +30: UNiTE to End Violence Against Women and Girls”. As we mark nearly three decades since the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the urgency to address gender-based violence has never been clearer. Shockingly, in 2023, someone’s partner or family member was intentionally killed every 10 minutes. These harrowing statistics highlight the crisis we face. Let’s make it known: there is #NoExcuse for violence against women and girls.
What’s Happening in Second Life? For the fourth year, We Orange The World – Second Life is proud to host a vibrant program at Artsville, Second Life’s cultural hub. From November 25 to December 10, 2024, Artsville will shine in shades of orange, symbolizing our collective hope for a brighter, violence-free future.
Here’s what to look forward to during this 16-day campaign:
Art Exhibits & Installations Explore thought-provoking exhibits and installations designed to ignite conversations, evoke emotions, and inspire change. Artsville’s talented artists have poured their hearts into creating immersive visual experiences that embody this year’s theme.
Live Performances & Parties Enjoy live music and DJ-led parties that energize and unite our community. Together, we’ll dance, sing, and share the message of solidarity.
Poetry and Words of Empowerment Let the power of words move you during special poetry readings that highlight the strength, resilience, and courage of women and girls worldwide.
Special Gifts Our partners have prepared exclusive gifts for visitors, symbolizing unity and the fight for gender equality.
Calling All Bloggers, Explorers, and Photo Enthusiasts! Help us “color” Second Life and social media with orange! Share your experiences from Artsville, capturing its glowing hues and the spirit of the campaign. Post your photos on Flickr and other platforms using the hashtag #WeOrangeTheWorldSL.
Why This Campaign Matters Gender-based violence isn’t confined to the physical world. It exists in virtual spaces, including Second Life, where it takes the form of harassment, emotional abuse, and psychological harm. Such behavior is not only devastating but also violates SL’s Community Standards. Let’s take a stand together—reminding everyone that respect is essential in both our virtual and physical lives.
This campaign is a rallying cry: Let’s raise awareness, demand change, and make a difference. Together, we can create a world where women and girls feel safe, valued, and respected—both in-world and beyond.
Join Us! Don’t miss out on the energy, inspiration, and unity that this campaign brings to Artsville. Together, we’ll amplify the message and work toward a brighter future.
