Life in Flux
6-16 July 2023
WIA Gallery, Unit 2, 3 Fisher Street, Lewes BN7 2DG
Our world is in a constant state of flux. Spanning across our social, political and economic landscapes, as well as within our personal lives, whether positive, negative or neither, we are always experiencing change. From one moment to the next how do we respond as individuals? Do we face these moments head on? The very nature of living is adapting to change, do we resist or embrace this? Can we collectively learn as societies to embrace change?
This exhibition presents a group of womxn artists whose work responds to the ideas surrounding flux, movement, flow, change and transition in its various forms. Showcasing different mediums and artistic approaches the exhibition aims to reflect the idea of flux from an open and imaginative perspective.

London Art Fair 23: Reclamation
18 - 22 January 2023
Until recently, the female body has been framed by the observations and encounters of the male gaze. Historically, women’s bodies have been a host for lust, desire, fetishisation and commodification, overlooking the personal narratives of the women who embody them.
Otherlandz presents a selection of UK based women artists with cultural roots from across the globe, who investigate the reclamation of the female body image. Confronting traditional archetypes, stereotypes, personal narratives, myth and folklore, the artists begin to unpick the feminine, exploring it within the context of identity.
Through a variety of different artistic media and approaches, the artists subvert centuries of traditional thinking surrounding the female body image in art history, opening up a dialogue on the reclamation of femininity, within a global cultural context and a deeper understanding of the connected sense of self.
Artists: Tayo Adekunle, Renin Bilginer, Miyeon Yi, Eve De Haan, Yurim Gough and Theresa Weber.

From the ashes of an old world, changed by collective trauma comes an opportunity for new voices and perspectives to be heard. With growing global tensions, humanitarian crises and continued social stasis, we find ourselves lost in a post-apocalyptic space of reflection and uncertainty, bringing forth conversations surrounding displacement, identity and womanhood.
Artists: Alya Hatta, Chantelle Purcell, Eve De Haan, Imogen Patel, Kathy Bailey, Maddalena Zadra, Natalia González Acosta, Renin Bilginer and Tayo Adekunle.
