HER ART IN ACTION
Free To Dream
The Feminine Gaze: What Do You Dream?
Picturing Our Inner Lives
9 March – 6 April

The 2025 edition of Her Art in Action focuses on how women depict and articulate their dreams. Faced with expectations around family, education, home life, work and community, women are expected to be many things by others. In this exhibition, the commissioned artists delve into the dreams of women in different circumstances and at different stages of life, showing where expectations and aspirations converge and diverge, creating a nuanced portrait of how women see their individual and collective futures and their role within them.

In each of the vignettes, the artists express the complicated internal negotiations that take place throughout life and how this struggle is manifested through thoughts, emotions and actions. In many cases there is no resolution; the tensions between inner and outer worlds remain, and even in the most extreme circumstances, their strength is given to others as an act of care, love and sacrifice.
