Renewal: an expression of the personal experiences of female artists during and post lockdown

About

This exhibition aims to showcase an anthropomorphic aspect of the notion of Renewal through the works of six women artists. The concept of Renewal is based in human resilience, the ability and desire to start afresh after challenging setbacks. The exhibition boasts eleven artworks that dissect the various meanings of Renewal through thought-provoking work made in diverse media including painting, photography, mixed media and bio art.

Bringing nuance to discourse surrounding the pandemic and the impact it bore on the lives of many, Renewal exhibits the works of six women who have emerged with their creative practices stronger, brighter and renewed following the highly pressurised events of Covid-19. As a clear demonstration of their fortitude, the exhibition reflects the subjective perceptions and artistic approaches of local women pre-and post-pandemic. The exhibition is co-curated by the Creative Women's Hub and Samar F Zia, and developed in collaboration with Fitzrovia Community Centre, who remain pivotal to the empowerment of the community; the exhibition underpins the centrality of women working to empower other women, not in spite of, but in celebration of our diversity in thought.
