Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Venue: Court House & Mulgrave Galleries

9:00am Friday 11th April 2025

Exhibition: Fri 7 Mar - Sun 13 Apr 2025

Launch: 5.30pm, Sat 8 Mar

Workshops: Every Saturday (free)

Storytelling is one of the most powerful and ancient forms of sharing information, education, wisdom, and inspiration. Although we are all very different in many ways, each of us will face adversity in our lives, and this will look different for everyone.

In alignment with International Women’s Day, this exhibition features artworks by nine female artists in response to interviews they made with a hundred women about the tools, strategies, and resources that helped them through their toughest times. This is a wonderful opportunity for a diverse community to come together to share, learn, and most importantly, connect through the sharing of stories, knowledge, and wisdom.

The exhibition offers a series of free workshops for the community, and there will also be an interactive space for people to share their own words of wisdom.

Artists: Annika Harding / Cristina Bevilacqua / Diljá Thorpe / India Collins / Lauren Carter / Marnie Hutchinson Awram / Mum'a Nai / Nicola Bryars-Parker / Nicolette Worth

The Resilience Workshops
Join us for free workshops each Saturday throughout the term of the exhibition.

Facilitated by a diverse group of local women, these workshops offer a range of activities designed to foster resilience, connection, and community. Explore creative arts, dance, singing, mindfulness practices and more. This five-week program provides a unique opportunity for people to come together, share experiences, learn from each other, discover some local resources and develop new skills in a supportive and empowering environment.

These workshops are scheduled in alignment with International Women’s Day, but everyone is welcome to attend.

Spaces are limited and bookings are essential. Scroll down for more information.
