Cultural Event Blog

BLOG for Monday 30 September, 6pm: Attend one of the following events and write a synopsis of the event

the last minute.

Thurs 20 Sept, The Warehouse Gallery, 5-8 pm
This is an art opening for COME ON: Desire Under The Female Gaze that includes a reception with food and you can take
a guided tour (optional). If you choose this event, please spend at least 1 hour there.

COME ON presents art about sexuality women artists who employ diverse media, including large-scale drawing, video installation,
text work and ephemeral sculpture. COME ON reveals what is not represented in popular culture and provides a counterbalance
to the ubiquitous imagery of sexualized female bodies created for mainstream heterosexual male sensibilities.
