“ The pretty, the ugly, and all the enrapturing gradations in between – women’s gazes on the world are bringing their bearing into the light in this show, building bridges across generations and differences. We will look with humour and subversion at notions of ‘feminine beauty’, bursting past limiting idealisations of women’s bodies – and tenderly, divergently, making fun of these, celebrating our own notions of what is 'pretty', 'ugly', and in between – meandering strongly into alternative visions of what might be."
