Art / International Women's Day
Annual curated exhibition ‘Women by Women’ returns to Centrespace to mark International Women’s Day
Now in its third year, the annual curated exhibition Women by Women will return to Centrespace Gallery in March to mark International Women’s Day, raising funds for the Global Fund for Women in the process.
Participants announced so far amongst the 24-strong cohort of female and non-binary artists include Amber Bardell and Ellie Shipman, both of whom are returning to the project following involvement in earlier iterations.
The exhibition is designed to be “a celebration of personalities, stories and lived experiences”, organisers say.
“It is an ode to our community and our most treasured relationships with others and ourselves – past, present and future versions.”

Discussing the wide-ranging work that will be shown, they cite a common connective thread: “their work emerges from a place of the most inherent, personal, deep-rooted and true emotion meanwhile exploring an ever-changing terrain.
“Whilst the artists tell their stories from where they stand, joining together in a space weaves these individuals together in conversation, a shared history, and a communal experience.

“This collection of work explores the joys, pains and complexities of womanhood through a variety of personal and communal perspectives on identity, relationship and body.”
A series of events and workshops will be running alongside the exhibition in the main gallery space.
