All The Women We Could Have Been Exhibition

IN/Visible Disabled Women's National Art Collective

All The Women We Could Have Been is a pioneering group exhibition by members of the In/Visible National Disabled Women’s Art Collective. The artists explored: narratives around disabled women; older disabled women in the rights, justice and arts movements; intersectionality; what being activists has meant to their work; ideologies which impact them; and they unapologetically celebrate who they are. The artists in the collective are Michelle Baharier, Samantha Blackburn, Caroline Cardus, Honor Flaherty, Pauline Heath, Cheryl Martin, JulieMc McNamara, Lynne McFarlane, Dolly Sen, and Vici Wreford-Sinnott. You can find out more about the artists here.

About the Exhibition 
A powerful and playful exploration of what life might have been like for disabled women had external limitations not been in place. But it’s not a sad story, instead it’s a unique opportunity to see specially created new works of art by some of the Disability Arts Movements leading disabled women artists and thinkers, all of whom are aged over 50, play with representation and expectation in works which are witty, poetic and provocative in this call-to-arms celebration. Each work presented is individual and unique with artists working across a wide range of mediums including photography, painting, wall sculpture, collage, textiles and embroidery. The work has widely received great acclaim.
