Beyond a Muse was a group exhibition which was curated by Fajar Kayani, Eden Castillo, and Avigayil Ashton, and took place from 14th-20th March in the University of Reading Library in honour of Women’s History Month.
A group of women artists from the Reading School of Art restoring and reclaiming the concept of ‘the muse’.
Each artist has made a body of work touching on their experiences and interests; these range from the sculptural to the two-dimensional.
From this, ‘women’ evolve from a spectacle to be looked at, to artists creating work within their own right, their own passions, and their own interests.
