Sheroes-Revoluciones WHM Edition

Sheroes-Revoluciones comes back with an exhibition to commemorate Women's History Month showcasing the work of 12 women artists.

Sheroes-Revoluciones has been designed to draw attention to violence against women by providing a platform for artists, survivors and change-makers to reflect through the arts over the important social issue of gender-based violence.

Throughout the weekend 12 artists will exhibit their work alongside live performances, a panel talk day (topics will include: Violence against women and girls and the state, Women’s (mis)representation, What is next for feminism?) and a late opening with a DJ set.

On Saturday 21st March women in the academia, public figures, artists and activists will provide a space for reflection on the following topics:

PANEL TALK #1
'Women's (Mis)representation: Why celebrating our Sheroes is important'. With history in large told from a male, whitewashed trajectory we want to use this space to discuss why highlighting women's hidden stories is vital not just for a feminist re-telling of history, but to honour those who have been overlooked and overshadowed, in ultimately assessing; has anything really changed?

PANEL TALK #2
'Violence Against Women and Girls and the State.' This topic will endeavour to engage conversations around how society perpetuates VAWG, undergirded by structural violence present within our governance structures.

PANEL TALK #3
'What is next for feminism. Looking forward.' From #MeToo, to #TimesUp, #YoSíTeCreo and Chilean feminist performance; 'Un violador en tu camino' we have seen a surge in global feminist uprising - but what next? Have we gone far enough? This panel talk will address some of these burning questions as we look to the future of feminism.
