HER ART IN ACTION
A Home with a View
8 March – 31 May

The theme for Her Art in Action 2026 ‘A Home with a View’ invites artists to explore how women create, define, reshape and challenge the idea of ‘home’ within the feminine experience. Taking inspiration from the idea of creating a place for oneself beyond domestic responsibilities as well as a meditation on the friction between public and private spheres, ‘home’ becomes a place to reflexively explore how women critique, claim and/or reclaim space for themselves.

‘Home’ is not neutral, but loaded with layers of contradictions embedded within family, nostalgia, learning, longing, expectations, and more broadly ecological responsibility and community activation. We encourage artists to consider the myriad forces that shape ‘home’—like land ownership, displacement, or migration, as well as personal perspectives on what the idea of ‘home’ means; it isn’t always a physical place—it might be a ritual, a relationship, a memory, or even a body. We want to know what ‘home’ represents to artists in all of its nuances, from the intimate to the expansive, and consider how home can be created in the most unexpected places and relationships.
