REALLY? is a series of art exhibitions that will be held monthly in London organized by hAirY EGg, a newly formed, growing network of socially aware artists and supporting charities from around the world.

The first Really? event runs from 7pm to midnight.
The evening programme includes:


• Dinner and cocktails
• Wine tasting by Wine Food Promotions Ltd.
• Interactive Presentation on the sexual
objectification of women by Dimitrios Tsivrikos
• Art auction
• Music by DJ Moody Pat
• Open Dialogue


Each event has an accompanying brochure that contains the event theme, profiles on the artists featured and information about the event partners. The series of brochures build into a set of six collectable items.


Each event will be centered on different social issues. The main focus is to raise awareness on the chosen topic, support our chosen charities (whose cause is fitting for the given event) and last, but not least, promote young artists from different mediums.


The guests are not hounded with charitable publicity but instead enjoy a relaxed atmosphere of wine tasting, open dialogue and live music where they are free to mingle and enjoy the atmosphere.

The first Really? Event will cover the Objectification of Women.

The objectification of women in mass media has a long history. Simply put, objectification means that society sexually objectifies the female body and equates a woman’s worth with her body’s appearance and sexual functions.

Although sexual objectification is but one form of gender oppression it is one that factors into and perhaps enables a host to other oppressions women face, ranging from employment discrimination and sexual violence to the trivialization of women’s work and accomplishments.

In a collaboration of artists and human rights activists, we will be asking questions and looking for answers.
