Free In-Store Events: Your Shero on a Poster

Let's rethink the relationship between the history of the poster and gender. While analysing the ways in which iconic women and men have been represented throughout time, we will create our own Sheroic posters using cut outs and collage.

Every day of our lives, we come into contact with images of heroes or heroines on posters, social media, the press, and Hollywood movies. These mediums, among many other, transmit ideas about gender. It is easy to remain oblivious to the implications these forms of media have on society as we often consume them in a state of distraction.

If we look at posters of heroes and heroines of all kinds we will find the predominant ‘gaze’ of Western patriarchy. The lens of patriarchy shapes the powers and skills given to women and men in these depictions.

You cannot be what you cannot see! So, during this workshop you will be guided on designing your own poster representing your sheroes and heroes.

Maximum capacity 15 people. This event is free to take part and all materials are provided.

These events have been organised in partnership with Sheroes, Lon-art’s third Social Exhibition, champions little-known women warriors, leading ladies and unsung stars. For more information please visit www.whoisyourhero.com
