Between 6th \u2013 10th July, Pay Gaps and Thigh Gaps<\/em>, an exhibition by a group of graduating SMFA Fine Art students was on at Old Truman\u2019s Brewery in Brick Lane, London, as part of Free Range – A season of Graduate Art & Design Exhibitions.<\/p>\n

It aims to celebrate talent and provide a platform for UK artists beyond education. The show was extremely successful, with an amazing turn out.<\/p>\n

About Pay Gaps and Thigh Gaps<\/strong>
\nThere seems to be a growing precedent that in order to be recognised as a female artist you must limit your practice to being \u2018feminist\u2019. But why can\u2019t a woman speak beyond her gender to gain recognition? We are a group of proud feminists who would like to share varying concerns beyond our genitalia (and possibly surrounding our genitalia- we would like the option). From, childhood imagination, to personal illness, we come together with uniquely different practices, to support each other as artists\u2026 who happen to be female.<\/p>\n
