CW// body image + violence

These times, eh?

Last week I visited the Women in Revolt exhibition at the Modern Art Gallery in Edinburgh.

A display of feminist art from 1970-1990, I’ve been slowly absorbing its inspiration and have an idea to follow up that I hope to bring to fruition in 2025—watch this space!

The line of enquiry has its roots in the idea of art journaling as a process most peculiar to women.

An offering in the meantime:

As many of us navigate turbulent waters, I invite you to a creative practice that speaks to the relationship between women’s bodies and the Earth.

This creative exercise was first issued as part of my Patreon offering back in 2019 and I think it has great relevance, especially today.

And so, I offer it here to everyone completely free of charge, with zero obligation to sign up, jump through hoops, or pay money to participate.

I won’t include the video replay of our event to protect those who participated, but you can see me painting my offering in the image above.

I hope this exercise helps those of you who, like me, find a creative practice helpful in processing the world and its goings on, particularly if you’re finding things difficult.

Find a full intro and the creative prompts in the PDF download link underneath, alongside a link to reference images, printable templates and an accompanying playlist.

Please leave a comment below and let me know if you’ve seen the Women in Revolt expo, how you feel about art and activism or how art journaling has helped you process personal and collective events. I’d love to hear from you
