​​OPPRESSION, REPRESSION AND SUPPRESSION

​

As we lose our rights, our choices, our spaces, this is a call for art from women who have something to say, to shout, to scream. 

 

KEY DATES

​

  • Exhibition: 16 May - 13 June 2025

  • Deadline for submissions: 19 April 2025

  • Selected work must be posted, couriered or hand delivered to the gallery by: Thursday 8 May 2025

 

As with HIDDEN, all eligible submissions will be accepted - work not selected for a physical space will be shown on a video loop throughout the entirety of the show and featured in the show catalogue.

 

Artists will be notified of selection by email shortly after the deadline.

Artists may remain anonymous or use a pseudonym.
