In the last few years, Sheroes has developed very rapidly, reaching new audiences and recognition through various exhibitions, workshops and content, adjusting to the world’s changes and trying to respond, listening to and giving space to women’s voices.
We believe it’s time to put together what we’ve achieved and create a longer and sustainable space to continue our work, continue giving visibility to women's issues, as well as supporting women activists artists and their work.
Sheroes Interventions is an art project which aims to contribute to reducing violence against women and girls and celebrating women hidden herstories while supporting our growing community of artists in a more stable way.
The objectives of the project are:
Promoting awareness and drawing attention to VAWG through the display of artworks in public spaces by women activist artists
Engaging communities on this difficult and challenging topic through an initial visual conversation.
Offering the opportunity to engage further through a talk or art workshop led by the artist. Physical or online.
Reflecting and challenging women’s representations through art
Celebrating the contribution of women in our society and highlighting hidden women's stories from our communities
Supporting established women activist artists by creating opportunities for them to showcase their work and conduct art workshops or talks within relevant communities, fostering social change through education and awareness.
Our aim is to redirect our social impact and focus on specific institutions, organisations and other public venues that work with and for people.
Activist Art Hub
Additionally, as part of the project's medium term strategy, we will establish the Activist Art Hub, a permanent online gallery to exhibit and archive the work of our Sheroes Interventions selected artists. To document these interventions and facilitate access for communities and the general public.
The Hub will expand beyond the initial phase to include more artists, archive activist art, facilitate sales and lending, and host physical exhibitions and events to further engage communities and the private sector.
And our partner network will be expanding across London and the UK.
We are eager to explore opportunities for collaboration and would welcome your input and support as we embark on this journey.
