She___. Collective May Exhibition

Co-founder, curator and content writer for the SHE___. collective, an Edinburgh based group hosting exhibitions, talks and art events that champion the unheard female voices of the city and beyond. In 2017, female artists accounted for just 4% of the National Gallery of Scotland’s collection and less than a quarter of London’s major commercial solo shows were centred on a female artist. Women make up 51% of the population, so chances are you know a woman, you might even be one, yet women are still severely underrepresented in nearly all cultural and economic areas. As a protest against the blatant inequality of the mainstream art market, the SHE___. collective has invited a diverse range of artists, writers and creatives to come together to consider and celebrate the women that inspire them. Organised and curated by Isabella Avery, Tabby Carless-Frost, Shenna Heard, Rebecca Nipps, Eva Stanistreet and Geraldine Sawyer.
