2005 von der Künstlerin Carla Cruz initiiert, problematisiert AMIW Genderkonstruktionen und Machtverhältnisse in der Kunst. Es positioniert sich als feministische politische Plattform und verweigert sich dem Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit zur diskriminierenden Kunstwelt. So erprobt es andere Wege der Darstellung von hu’wo’man Kunstproduktionen.
