This exhibition showcases vibrantly colourful works by 15 local women artists. Many are inspired by brilliant women and traverse their joys and pain, quiet strengths and loud resistance. Invoking the domestic there are quilted, woven and embroidered works. There are adventures in earthly delights, playful takes on bright, shiny consumerism and dancing with fire. There are works that explore the connection between women and healing plants and others that examine the experience of synaesthesia and epilepsy. What shines through is a sense of diversity and solidarity.
Opening Event: 5.30-7pm Tuesday 27 February 2024, all welcome.
Location: Eastside Gallery, 388 Worcester St, Christchurch, free parking onsite.
