A one-day multi-disciplinary symposium inspired by the exhibition Object, which brings together objects, made and found, to reflect the everyday lives of the seven participating women artists. Working in isolation from each other the women came together to curate the objects, in the expectation that shared concerns and experiences would lead to common themes which would inform the grouping of objects. Once gathered together some themes that did emerge were; home, motherhood and children, sex and relationships, objectification, oppression and subjugation, personal values and activism, sentiment.

Presenters at the symposium are drawn from women’s organisations and from a broad range of the arts including visual, performance, spoken word, film and music.
