A
event
held at Centrespace Gallery
on Wednesday 11th March. The event starts at 15:30.
Join artist and writer Fra Beecher for this experimental writing workshop. Throughout the Women by Women.3 exhibition, visitors will be invited to write responses to the exhibited works. During this workshop, we will use these words and our own experiences as women, to inspire us, and work with gentle writing prompts to create new written works.
The intention is to write a poem together, in honour or the exhibition, which can be read together before the show closes its doors, at 6pm.
No previous writing experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided. You are welcome to share openly in the workshop, but please be mindful of others when doing so. Content warnings are appreciated and respect and compassion for the experiences of others is encouraged. Please be aware that this event will take place within the gallery space, while it is open to the public.
‘Women by Women' is a celebration of personalities, stories and lived experiences. It is an ode to our community and our most treasured relationships with others and ourselves.s. 'Women by Women.3' is the third annual group exhibition showcasing work by 24 female and non-binary artists. Their work emerges from a place of the most inherent, personal, deep-rooted and true emotion meanwhile exploring an ever changing terrain. Whilst the artists tell their stories from where they stand, joining together in a space weaves these individuals together in conversation, a shared history, and a communal experience. This collection of work explores the joys, pains and complexities of womanhood through a variety of personal and communal perspectives on identity, relationship and body. 'Women by Women' is an annual exhibition that marks International Women's Day, and strives to broaden why, how and who we celebrate on this day.
