#unsung: Alternate Female Icons Art Exhibition by Faye Dobinson

An interactive antidote to the over produced and over sexualized female artist.

6th - 9th March 2014. Part of First Thursdays.

A collection of paintings by London born and Cornwall based artist Faye Dobinson, celebrating female musicians and vocalists who are representative of attributes not commonly celebrated in the current media.


#unsung is an exhibition of painted portraits of female musicians and singers who have walked their own path. They are trailblazers, soul sisters, relentless and brave. Not playing to a male gaze but playing from a place of personal power. It ties in with international Womens' Week 2014.

Featured musicians and singers: Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Betty Davis, Elizabeth Cotton, Karen Dalton, Joan as Policewoman, Delia Derbyshire, Lisa Kekaula, Hanne Hukkelberg, Tammi Terrell, Nico and more.

Alongside Faye Dobinson's paintings, there will be the chance to hear many of the tracks these women made great. Putting faces to the names of the 'unsung sheroes'.
