“MAKING SPACE” is a group exhibition that explores the United Nations theme for this years International Women’s Day: “Cracking the Code: Innovation for a gender equal future”. The Old Bar Gallery has chosen to interpret this theme through the role of intersectional feminism without conforming to traditional gender binaries. All artists involved are passionate about making spaces that challenge marginalisation.

 Artworks fuse together intersectional power with themes of technology, robotics, science, medicine, education, sci-fi, futurism, retro-futurism, space etc.

 Artists include:

Rachael Anger, Isabeau Marielle, Paige Wang, Sheri Morte, Tammy Leigh, Betty Musgrove, Brija Davis, erincox, Bianca Johnston, Lily O’Connell, Wen Chen, Mare Asi, Elli Hales, Mikelle Miller, Heather Fuhrer, Ally Moylan, Selen Nazmiye Bilal, Gabriella Adams, Heidi Smith, Chloe Metcalf & Clunk , Sabahat Khan, Grae Burnished, Scary Moonchild, Laura Alice, Claudia Ridgway, Rochelle Morris

 Joining the artists on opening night are bands Ere Lo and Loni Thompson!
