Happy International Women’s Day! We are celebrating with Still I Rise: Feminisms and the Art of Resistance, Act 2, an exhibition of intersectional feminism from across the world, encompassing architecture, design, performance, activism, photography and literature. This major show, currently showing at De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea, chronicles intimate acts and full-scale movements from the nineteenth-century to the present day, all of which sought to fight oppression, including the See Red Women’s Workshop. This printmaking collective was founded in 1974, and produced posters for the women’s liberation movement, as well as other political and community causes. As a co-operative group based on shared knowledge and skills, no single artist took credit for the workshop’s output—an act that apparently baffled the art world. Their succinct graphic style, which includes simplistic forms of colour blocking and powerful slogans, still resonates to this day.
