Mobilising playfulness and pleasure as a radical act within a history of women’s resistance, healing and growth, Toys for Survival started life as a series of workshops for survivors of gender-based violence. The exhibition explores sensuality and sensory pleasure through sculpture, placing the survivors’ work alongside work by Leah Miller-BiotMaria de Lima and Joanna Peace.

Toys for Survival: Exhibition Launch, Thursday 13th February, 6pm to 7pm

Come together for a special chance to preview the exhibition before it opens and attend a guided tour with the women behind the project.

Find out more about the exhibition here and join us at  the launch of the Toys for Survival publication, a short guide that documents the project and outlines its methods, on Thursday 20th February.

Light refreshments will be provided.
