"Selfsame" Exhibition opening

“To thine own (her)self be true”. Inspired by the Shakespearean term, “Selfsame”, curated by Zoë Goetzmann explores the tension between individuality and collective identity amongst women artists. The works in this exhibition reflect the shared experience of being seen as ‘the same’ — while asserting the multiplicity, nuance, and autonomy of each artist’s voice. To be selfsame is not to be identical, but to be wholly oneself, again and again.

Artists: Anne von Freyburg, Abbie Griffiths, Lidia Russakova-Hasaya, Marina Renee Cemmick, Fiona G Robers, Lea Rose Kara, Karolina Dworksa, Elena Unger, Olivia Strange.
