PINK -  A hue where feminine and feminism collide.

Presented in the lead-up to International Women’s Day this exhibition explored 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 women artists today. Covering a range of mediums, the pieces in this show presented a variety of creative practices and approaches to feminist narratives, each using pink as an element to strengthen their work not minimise it.

Featuring artwork by Anastasia Klose, Trace Lamb, Lola-Mae Pink, Maja Malou Lyse & Arvida Byström, Honey Long & Prue Stent, Jessie Adams.
