#NOEXCUSE is a creative response to the topic of misogyny and the United Nations campaign against violence towards women and girls. It features works of mixed media, painting and collage by Welsh artists dinahvagina, me – Rosie Scribblah and The RAD Collective. But it’s not just an exhibition of artworks.
Over the coming weeks, we artists will be building interest and engagement on social media and using videos and QR codes to take the artworks beyond a gallery setting and ending with a “Closing Event” at the venue early in the New Year.
The United Nations campaign is called “The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence” and it’s an annual international event that starts on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, which is Human Rights Day.
My series of acrylic paintings on paper in a bright Pop Art style, called SISTERS, are loosely based on the concept of the ancient Celtic Trinity of Goddesses, sometimes called The Morrigan.
There is a tradition of sisterhood in the UK, of women coming together to achieve progress, from the Suffragettes campaigning for the vote, to the grass roots creation of women’s domestic violence refuges, taking collective action. It reminds me of this ancient Celtic motif of multiple goddesses pulling together.
