All Women Are Artists: IWD

All Women are Artists… and they can’t fit us all in the Inter-National Gallery

The things our hands make, the solutions we find for impossible problems, the beauty we carve into the day, the relationships we navigate, the stories we keep alive and the visions we share.

This is a women’s space – co-created together. Do you have a skill to share? Is there something you want to speak about? Do you want to dance? Can you organise the tea station? Could you welcome those who are nervous? Are you simply bringing your curiosity? We need you, we need each other! All women are welcome.

What to expect:

Work together to make a celebration of women’s art.

We have space; time; food; Iftar meal; discussion; activity; purpose; dancing.

Through conversation, talks, activities and making we are going to create a group photograph – a co-created masterpiece, made by and for women. Then we are going to eat fabulous food and dance (if we want to) to music by DJ Devolicious.

Come from the start and stay till the end, or drop in and out as best suits you but please book your free place in advance.

3-5pm Open Mic Art Talk

This is space for you to talk about art – anyway or how you like. Sign up for 10-minute slots and tell us about your grandma, the idea in your pocket, your PHD, hanging out the washing, dance your words, and roar the things that trip you up.

3-5pm Collective Making

Share a skill, learn a skill, make without skill. Work towards our co-created masterpiece – make a costume, a prop, an accessory, adorn yourself or the room ready for the culminating moment. Can you host a workshop station for some of the afternoon?

5pm Co-create a masterpiece, made by and for women.

We’ll all come together for a culminating masterpiece moment. We will create an extraordinary group photograph – everything that has happened before is for this moment – the big bang – the masterpiece is created (everyone will receive a copy).

5.54pm (approx) Ramadan Fast breaking

6pm Evening Meal (food and soft drinks will be provided)
