On the 5th of July, 2019, we created an art exhibition at NEON PARLOUR Gallery.
Along with friend, Loren Stevanja, we created a project featuring 15 Melbourne and Sydney artists, each given the brief to produce work that explores their understanding of what it means to be a woman.
The Original Woman featured works from:
Emily Raubenheimer
Ambient DJ Set by CLOUDY KU
Nibbles by SHOP BAO NGOC
Flyer design by RIDA ABASSI
Illustration for Zine by CLAUDIA CHEW
The show was held to raise funds and awareness for alternative forms of cancer treatment, following Loren’s diagnosis only months before.
Showcasing works across photography, writing, sculpture, floristry and painting, we graciously raised $4,000 on the opening night in support of our cause.
We produced and printed informational zines to be taken away on the evening, detailing Loren’s journey and creating conversation around topics not usually spoken of.
