INTERVENTIONS X SHOREDITCH is our first group exhibition under the Interventions project, showcasing powerful works by women and non-binary artists. These artworks engage in vital conversations about womxn— their rights, struggles, anxieties, and invisibility, but also their power, resilience, and boundless strength.
As we celebrate Women’s History Month—just one month a year—it’s crucial to confront a stark reality: women are not a minority; they make up half the population yet are still treated as second-class citizens. Too often infantilised, their rights, roles, and positions in society remain subjects of debate within patriarchal systems, with decisions made by those who seek to control rather than empower. This imbalance of power manifests in systemic issues such as wage gaps, domestic burdens, social constraints, and, ultimately, various forms of violence and control over women.
Countless women, girls, children, and entire families suffer the consequences of gender-based violence, trapped in cycles of trauma that ripple through generations.
SHEROES Interventions seeks to disrupt these narratives—elevating essential yet often taboo conversations. By bringing these urgent discussions into public institutions and the wider community through a visual-first approach, we aim to challenge societal norms, reshape our visual culture, and amplify voices that are too often silenced.
We showcased a collection of powerful artworks by women and non-binary folks, activist artists working to end gender-based violence and rethink the role and representation of womxn in our societies today.
This exhibition proudly featured works by Farnoush Amini, Aude Hérail Jäger, Sarrah El Bushra, Sophie Gresswell, Rachelle Romeo, Delia O’Leary, Jenny Crispin, Eleanor Morris, Lorena Herrero, Giorgia Grassini, Anne Plaisance, Alina Rancier, Jose Sumar, Mariona Sauret, Abigail Hammond, and Usva Inei.

Unfortunately, our exhibition was taken down without our knowledge nor consent by the team at Curtain Road the Monday following the opening, and we were told we had to remove everything as soon as possible, putting a brutal end to a wonderful exhibition we were excited to share with as many as possible. If you would like to support our organisation and our mission, please consider making a donation. All money raised to compensate for the interruption of the exhibition in March will be reinvested in future projects to support women activist artists and fight gender-based violence. Your support matters more than ever!
If you share our views and mission and would like to contribute to the cause, please donate.
All the money raised will go towards running more SHEROES projects and supporting women activist artists.
