'Powerful together, Uniquely different’ exhibition celebrates women and women artists for International Women’s Day 2020. ❇️ Gippsland Women’s Health and Gippsland Art Gallery have collaborated in hosting an exhibition celebrating the diversity and unity of women in our community. The aim for this exhibition is to support female artists by increasing their visibility. The exhibition theme highlights and celebrates women’s achievements, strengths and differences through a powerful display of artwork that emphasises the importance of advancing gender equality. Many pieces highlight the gender based issues of violence and discrimination women have faced through the centuries and continue to face today. The exhibition includes established and emerging Gippsland female artists with diverse artistic styles from right across Gippsland. The artists are Kate Shone and Cat Blamey, Casey Miller, Claire Marston, @emmahearnes and Jaquie Swan. The exhibition will open at the Gippsland Art Gallery on Friday 22 February and run until Sunday 12 April. All Welcome: Please join us for an International Women’s Day celebration at Gippsland Art Gallery’s First Friday event, for a discussion with the artists and Gippsland Women’s Health, March 6 at 2.00pm – 3.00pm. “International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. We hope this exhibition will empower the viewer to understand the importance of advancing equality, while celebrating women’s unique differences and valuable contribution and achievements in our community.” Fiona Owen, Chief Executive Officer, Gippsland Women’s Health. #PowerfulTogether #UniquelyDifferent #IWD2020 #Gippsland #GippslandWomen #GippslandWomensHealth

Excusing boys for bad, disrespectful, inappropriate behaviour just because they are boys is wrong. #MakeTheLink .

The third of the infographics we created. Encouraging the link to be made between men’s violence against women and gender inequality. 🔗 They clearly show the everyday behaviours, attitudes, beliefs & practices which contribute to and allow men's violence against women to exist. #makethelink #genderequality
