Venus Revisited

Project page

The Venus Revisited is a project on body and self-image for women who are going through the menopause (at whatever age, including early menopause), or have done so in the past. It focuses on exploring changing self and body image, mainly in clay, with a related drawing element.

The project has run with two small groups; in Lancaster and in Morecambe and both groups are coming together to exhibit works they have made during the project in two exhibitions. The ceramic work and drawings  from the 17 local project participants will be exhibited in Lancaster at The Storey, and at King Street Arts gallery: 31st July - 3rd August, then in Morecambe at the Library: 6-31st August. Come and see this eloquent and expressive body of work which addresses 17 people's responses to their own changes as they move through the menopause and beyond it.

Following a very successful pilot last year, this year it has been funded by Arts Council, England and the Eric Wright Charitable Trust, and supported via the NHS local Integrated Care Communities.
