You’re Not Alone: Women in Art 2025 brings together ten visual artists; their experiences as women outside mainstream art and highlights their significant contributions to contemporary art.
The exhibition showcases the spectrum of different journeys through painting, drawing and textiles by “outsider artists”, working class, self-taught and neurodivergent artists, and by women who feel separate from society. Featuring works by artists living in the South and Southwest of England it includes: Mahlia Amatina, Kate Bradbury, Ann Churchill, Yvonne Mabs Francis, Sarah Jane Hender, Delaine Le Bas, Kim Noble, Elinor Rowlands, Patricia Shrigley and Kwaga Sillingi who explore shared and different experiences of how they are understood, their personal journeys and their relationships with belonging.
Situated across two site specific spaces at The Silesian Museum in Katowice, Poland and Boscombe Arts Depot in Boscombe, United Kingdom for the UK/Poland Season 2025 initiated by the British Council. These sister exhibitions, running simultaneously and presenting different works by the same ten artists hope to highlight the spectrum of women’s creativity. The sister works navigate their relationships with each other and the communities they inhabit, whilst fostering stronger connections and advocating for further awareness of different experiences and women’s contribution to contemporary art.
