Slua Nua artists are from different nationalities, age groups and thus different viewpoints. The members are Sandra Petit-Frere, Ben Pateman, Lynda Tobin-Howes and Helena Zeeman. This exhibition is a comment on current social issues regarding women’s identity from religion to feminism and how in this post-feminist era, 40 years since the construction of modern feminist thought began, women view themselves. The challenge to the artists and community lies in visiting our own convictions and often conflicting understanding of women’s role in the community and society. We want to look at how mothers' roles have changed and at women’s sense of worth and identity in a society that is moving away from a religious value system towards a materialistic one and also how most young women regard feminism as yesterdays fashion, an antiquated philosophy that hangs neglected like the hippy beads in the back of their mothers' closets. But the philosophy of feminism is not dead, all of us to one degree or another have become feminists.

Works will be on display from 28th of July. Opening night celebrations are on Thursday 31st July from 6 - 9pm.

Opening times: Monday to Friday, 11am - 4.30pm | Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday 12 - 4.30pm.
