This exhibition showcases the artwork of 75 female artists in both the gallery space and the dollhouse, made in response to their feelings at the ever-increasing oppression, repression and suppression of women.

This show also includes the completed I Am Woman Project, a large textile piece by Holly Searle (The Subversive Stitcher), incorporating 81 small textile works created by over 60 women. This artwork is remaining in situ following the Contexture show and the background to the piece can be read on the exhibition page.
