Rugby Art Gallery and Museum presents the first major public display of the GIRLPOWER and Marcelle Joseph Collections in the UK. Shown alongside a selection of works from our own...

In this exhibition that appropriates the title of Ursula K. Le Guin’s 1989 non-fiction collection, Dancing at the Edge of the World, the works of ten female-identifying artists create a centre of subversive feminist activity where the body – fleshy, often leaky and sometimes desirous - is omnipresent but never separated from the mind. The artists in this exhibition invade their own privacy to explore embodiment and representation in an anarchic and self-realising strategy of empowerment. Artists include: Saelia Aparicio, Charlotte Colbert, Monika Grabuschnigg, Zsófia Keresztes, Alexi Marshall, Florence Peake, Proudick (Lindsey Mendick and Paloma Proudfoot), Megan Rooney and Eve Stainton.
