We'll host a small number of relaxed viewings for anyone who'd prefer a more informal approach to noise and movement in the space, or who feels comfortable knowing that they can enter and exit freely.

A major group exhibition exploring the relationship between gender and ecology, highlighting the systemic links between the oppression of women and the degradation of the planet.

Featuring around 50 international women and gender non-conforming artists, RE/SISTERS is a new exhibition featuring work from emerging and established artists across the fields of photography and film.

Works in the exhibition explore how women’s understanding of our environment has often resisted the logic of capitalist economies which places the exploitation of the planet at its centre. They are presented alongside works of an activist nature that show how women are regularly at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet.

Before you visit the exhibition, please note:

  • Some of the works in the exhibition feature nudity while some others explore themes including violence, race, environmental crises, and systemic injustice.
  • The exhibition contains some flashing images.

This exhibition has been made possible thanks to the generous support of our lead sponsor, Vestiaire Collective. We would also like to thank the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation,  Fluxus Art Projects, and The High Commission of Canada in The United Kingdom for their additional support.
