8 �� 24 Oct

Hysterical Legacies is a collaborative visual arts project and exhibition, and a response to the ongoing impact of historically sexist narratives, past stereotypes and notions of ��hysterical women��, on women and non-binary people��s present day experiences of health. Featuring artworks by chronically ill, disabled and neurodivergent women, femme and non-binary people, the exhibition uncovers the collective hidden stories of so many in our community.

We are currently amid a changing landscape surrounding women��s health, with progress acknowledging women��s pain, yet ongoing global threats to bodily freedom. This exhibition draws connections between social attitudes, medical practices and perceptions of women��s illness - underpinned by prioritising lived experience perspectives.

There will be a closing night celebration on 23 October, 5.30pm-7.30pm.

Curated by Amelia Saward, Hysterical Legacies is supported by the 郭肱利 Arts Grants.
