Exhibitions
Voices of Strength
22 January till 28 February - Free to visit during the museum's regular opening hours
An exhibition that centres the voices of women who have experienced domestic and gender-based abuse. It brings together creative writing and photography developed through two projects connected to Broxtowe Women's Project. The exhibition includes written pieces by BWP participants in response to 'Asking for It', a photographic series by Jayne Jackson, with portraits taken by Jackson during the creative sessions. It also features selected pieces from Nottingham Speaks Up, a White Ribbon-linked project encouraging people to speak out about abuse.
The Effect of Art on Happiness
5 March till 18 April
'It's not art for art's sake, it's art for my sake'.
D.H. Lawrence
An exploration through art and words, of perceptions of self-image and how we see others, focusing on aging, disability and difference. Measuring the benefits of life-drawing activity on the artist, the model and the viewer, through non-invasive monitoring of markers of stress and emotions. This exhibition consists of paintings, sketches and words created through community art workshops in Broxtowe and Nottinghamshire.
This is a Broxtowe Community Arts initiative, supported by the University of Nottingham and Parkinson’s UK Mansfield Support Group.
