‘Her
Presence in Colours’
‘Her
Presence in Colours’ is a series of International Women’s art
conferences and exhibitions. The first was held in 1993 in Beijing, China
at the Central Academy of Fine Art with the second (1995)and third
(1996)in the Penang State Art Gallery, Malaysia and the fourth (1999) in
the Suan Pakkad Palace Museum, Bangkok, Thailand. This is the first to be
held in Britain and gives the opportunity to discuss contemporary issues
and to view the work of 60 women artists from Australia, Britain (notably
the Burngreave Area of Sheffield), China, Iceland, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and the United States of America
in the ‘Clock Tower Gallery’ in the Northern General Hospital,
Sheffield. We are also pleased to welcome a supporting exhibition of
Sheffield Girls work to be held in the adjoining ‘Clock Tower Gallery’
dining room in conjunction with the Sheffield Children’s Festival.
‘Her Presence in Colours V’
is hosted by the ‘International Women Artists Association-Great Britain
in collaboration with ‘Green City Action’ of Burngreave, Sheffield and
tackles the issue of
‘International Women’s Art Towards a Sustainable
Environment’. A Sustainable Environment includes that which is
ecologically sound, economically viable, fair(equitable) and humane
meeting it’s own needs for growth and maintenance. Her Presence in
Colours Exhibitions are of the
work of professional and amateur women artists who have interpreted the
theme in diverse and colourful ways each uniquely sourced from the
individual artists cultural experience. This holistic theme will be discussed in the
conference and we are very pleased to have such an array of diverse but
connected speakers from Australia, Britain and Malaysia speaking on the
connections between women, art, the environment and health. The conference
has programmed time to view the exhibition and time for discussion as well
as networking with international guests and an opportunity to talk to the
artists from the eight countries.
