Consumption, Media, Womanhood
Sophie Brown | Olivia Moore | Neve Vangioni | Vienna Nunns | Lourie Torr
10 September - 18 September
Consumption, Media, Womanhood brings together work by Sophie Brown, Olivia Moore, Neve Vangioni, Vienna Nunns and Lourie Torr. The exhibition responds to a growing discomfort with the ways women and femininity are represented and constructed through contemporary media, and with the beauty standards, gender expectations and patriarchal structures that continue to shape these representations.
As a collective, we find ourselves caught between participation in and resistance to the rapidly changing landscape of digital culture. We occupy the same online spaces that we seek to question, experiencing them as sites of attraction, influence, discomfort and scrutiny. Across our individual practices, we consider how media and wider social and cultural structures shape perceptions of womanhood, the body and identity.
Rather than simply reproducing these pressures, the exhibition seeks to transform them. Through art-making, experiences of frustration, contradiction and discomfort become material for questioning and resistance, allowing the works to reclaim and reframe the images, expectations and narratives imposed upon women.
