2008 marks the centenary of Women’s Suffrage in Victoria. To celebrate, the Counihan Gallery in Brunswick is hosting an exhibition around the themes of female empowerment and emancipation. Women’s Salon 2008: Persuasive Dissent seeks to explore, through art, current issues of significance to women that impact on their sense of equality and liberty. It’s a diverse exhibition in a great space, with mixed media works in a range of mediums, from painting and woodblock prints to collage and crochet. Pictured here is Agota Molnar’s red-hot don’t f*ck with me high-heel. The emancipated kitchen wench in me especially likes Mish Cahill’s Aboriginal-inspired textile apron-skirt, while my inner magpie loves Ellinor Mazza’s stunning amethyst bejeweled necklace. All works are for sale. The exhibition runs until 20 April, 2008.
