Healthcare for women and people of marginalised genders in the UK is in crisis, underfunded and undervalued, with many waiting decades for diagnoses and treatment of common conditions such as endometriosis. Bleeding Out explores artistic responses to medical misogyny and the disparities of knowledge, treatment, understanding and compassion in gynaecological and reproductive healthcare. Creativity blooms as an antidote and a rebellion when systems and society refuses to listen. This exhibition is a message of hope for a better future.
Featuring works by 7 talented Birmingham and West Midlands artists, whose practices illuminate these realities and offer hope for a better future:
• Amelia Fox
• Charlie Fitz
• Leah Hickey
• Larissa Shaw
• Sally Butcher
• Z’Khayha James
• Yasmeen Fathima Thantrey
With special collaboration with Cysters, the Birmingham based charity who advocate nationwide for representation, inclusion and equitable womens’ healthcare.
*Please note a pre-booked artist talk will be taking place from 7-7:45pm.
