An exhibition by a diverse group of women artist printmakers with distinct identities and varied approaches and practices.
Eight Women Print is a collective formed during the lockdown. As the artists moved online, they adapted to new ways of creating and developing their individual and collective practices from their homes across the globe in India, Spain and the UK. Each member of the group has explored ideas and experiences that have resonated during the lockdown periods, both local and global, of how we have all adapted, and are still adapting, to different ways of living and being. Their own personal experiences of isolation, upheaval and anxiety as well as wider global experiences such as migration and conflict are explored.
The work will be predominantly printmaking, with sculptural and textile elements woven through the exhibition.
