RE/SISTERS A Lens on Gender and Ecology


  • Barbican Centre Silk Street London, England, EC2Y 8DS United Kingdom (map)

Suzanne was the Climate Justice Curatorial Consultant for this major group exhibition exploring the relationship between gender and ecology, and highlighting the systemic links between the oppression of women and the degradation of the planet.

Featuring around 50 international women and gender non-conforming artists, RE/SISTERS presents work from emerging and established artists across photography and film.

Works in the exhibition explores how women’s understanding of our environment has often resisted the logic of capitalist economies which place the exploitation of the planet at its centre. They were presented alongside works of an activist nature that demonstrated how women are regularly at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet.

Reflecting on a range of themes, from extractive industries to the politics of care, RE/SISTERS viewes environmental and gender justice as indivisible parts of a global struggle. It addresses existing power structures that threaten our increasingly precarious ecosystem.
