More about the exhibition:
PINK, A hue where feminine and feminism collide.
Featuring artwork by Anastasia Klose, Tracey Lamb, Lola-Mae Pink, Maja Malou Lyse & Arvida Byström, Honey Long & Prue Stent, Jessie Adams and curated by Caroline Esbenshade.
Presented in the lead-up to International Women’s Day this exhibition explores the use of pink and other feminine motifs in creative practice by women. Once maligned for being girly and diminutive, pink is reclaimed and presented in hues ranging from hot pink to millennial with works exploring the social, biological and performative intersections of colour in practice.
Intended as a platform for dialogue, PINK explores where the combination of second wave feminism and neo-liberal feminism has brought womxn artists today. Covering a range of mediums and approaches the pieces in this show present a variety of creative practices and approaches to feminist narratives, each using pink as an element to strengthen their work, not minimise it.
More about the Pink Photo Booth:
Presented as part of PINK, local artist Ceardai Demelza has created an underwater world where Denise (they/them) a pygmy seahorse, male and pregnant, lives. Pygmy seahorses mimic the colour of the coral they live on; like all of us, Denise has adapted to fit into their environment. Explore Denise’s pink-hued coral home and have your photograph taken by our professional photographer.
The photo-booth is an opportunity to reflect on gender expression and stereotypes. Marvel in the magnificence of Denise – we invite you to dress up for this photographic moment (perhaps, a snorkel or goggles?). Everyone takes home a printed postcard image.
