She Performs: The Body

About

The exhibition will present paintings, Installations, videos and performances focusing on the corporeal in particular, examining how the body can be a locus; often a tool, an object, a vehicle; sometimes a disappointment, but always a triumph.

Curated by Lynn Seraina Battaglia and Holly Daizy Broughton, She Performs is a movement of exhibitions, events, publications and online spaces that connects art with current issues surrounding feminism and gender relations. It seeks to create a space – both physical and virtual – for female artists and their audiences to come together to engage with and exchange idea.

Alongside the exhibition will be a programme of inclusive and accessible events that aim to bring artists and audiences together, foster engagement with the exhibition’s themes, and provide a safe space for reflection and open exchange of ideas. These include a curators talk, an evening of performance, a story party and a panel-led round table discussion. Facilitated by She Performs Curator of Interpretation, Nicola Waterman, the round table discussion – She Speaks – will be an opportunity to discuss the exhibition’s themes and the challenges (current and historical) of being a woman working in the art world and the wider creative industries.

Through the exhibition and events we will explore how the body - artist’s, female, human - is asite of both conflict and harmony. By showing women artists we are able to present an
alternative narrative to that typically provided by museums and galleries. 

Participating Artists: Ala Jazayeri, Anne Griffiths, Bex Massey, Catalina Renjifo, Fleur Simon, Jemima Hall, Naomi Morris.
