RE/SISTERS - A Lens on Gender and Ecology
A major group exhibition at the Barbican exploring the relationship between gender and ecology, highlighting the systemic links between the oppression of women and the degradation of the planet.
Featuring around 50 international women and gender non-conforming artists, RE/SISTERS is a new exhibition featuring work from emerging and established artists across photography and film.
Works in the exhibition explore how women’s understanding of our environment has often resisted the logic of capitalist economies which places the exploitation of the planet at its centre. They're presented alongside works of an activist nature that show how women are regularly at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet.
Reflecting on a range of themes, from extractive industries to the politics of care, RE/SISTERS views environmental and gender justice as indivisible parts of a global struggle. It addresses existing power structures that threaten our increasingly precarious ecosystem.
Time: various, until 14 January 2024
