A Different Mirror: Exhibition on body image and identity

Did you know that 90% of British women feel body-image anxiety (Guardian 2012) and 50% compare their bodies to people on TV (YMCA)?

Using film, visual art, dance and poetry, A Different Mirror provides a platform for Women of Colour artists to explore the conflicts about how we see ourselves versus how we are seen.

The exhibition and educational activities confront these crucial questions about the systems or structures that shape our relationship to our bodies and its connection to our identities. It holds up a mirror to see and know ourselves differently.

Featuring works by: Indigo Williams, Lesley Asare, Sanaa Hamid, Nasreen Raja, Sarina Leah Mantle, Wasma Mansour, Uchenna Dance, Patricia Kaersenhout, and Ng’endo Mukii, Aowen Jin, Janine ‘j*9′ Francois, Clare Eluka, and Emerzy Corbin.

Don't forget to join us for an exciting artist seminar on art as a powerful tool. You don't have to be an artist to come along - this session is all about how art and expression can be used to heal and celebrate ourselves and the communities we're from.

Featuring a performance by writer Yrsa Daley-Ward, talks by Indigo Williams and Lesley Asare of I Shape Beauty, and a panel discussion featuring Sharmila Chauhan, Aowen Jin, Vicki Igbokwe (Uchenna Dance) and Bola Agbaje.
