She Is Risen

“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.”

- Muriel Rukeyser

This collaborative art installation brings together local artists to create site-specific pieces that explore histories and lived experience of female bodies interacting with institutionalised space. Taking place in the grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, She Is Risen uses paintings and drawings (Kathy Landvogt), movement (Zoe Condliffe, Cathy Williams & Edie Bannerman) and Audio Stories (Zoe Condliffe) to make women’s experiences visible through the act of storytelling and reclaim a stake in the process of history-making.
