”She Persists”
San Marco 3927 - 30124 Venice

Public Opening: May 11th–June 10th, 2019

HEIST Gallery are delighted to present She Persists, a landmark exhibition of works by 22 established and emerging artists from 11th May to 10th June in Palazzo Benzon, Venice. The exhibition aims to champion the voices of trailblazing female artists who have radically altered the narrative of art history alongside a generation of younger artist-activists. Bringing together an array of artists from New York, London and Lahore. She Persists will offer a forum for debate and discussion during the most significant global gathering of the art world: the Venice Biennale. Curated by HEIST Gallery founder, Mashael Al-Rushaid and art historian Sona Datta, the exhibition will bring together artworks which underpin the commonality of the female experience; exploring themes of displacement and diaspora, homeland and nationhood through sculpture, painting, film, projection, virtual reality, photography and performance.”
