May We?

Pussy Willow Power present May We?, a collective act of resistance against the subjugation of women, reclaiming the radical origins of Mother’s Day and May Day.

May We? brings together a diverse range of experiences and identities through a variety of media, including photography, installation, printmaking, painting, sculpture and video. The works challenge expectations that cast reproduction, fertility, and gender as prescriptive roles and asks how we might collectively rewrite narratives of care, self-determination and the right to define one’s own bodily autonomy.

Pussy Willow Power is a Naarm/Melbourne based collective founded by feminist interdisciplinary artists Kat Rae, Drey Willows and Chiara Zeta. Grounded in principles of social and political justice, their work is informed by lived and professional experiences of trauma, loss and systems of violence.

Exhibiting artists: Dena Aljamal, Mursal Azizi, Janty Blair, Jesse Bratby, Lauren Cameron, Michelle Ferreira, Angelique Joy, Iona Julian-Walters, Sarah Karnis, Jacinta Maude, Clare McCracken, Michelle McLachlan, Shona McMahon, Angela Mezzatesta, Vani Newby, Kat Rae, Dee Robinson, Shannon Slee, Wensi Sun, Toni Vallance, Drey Willows, Meiwah Williams, La’la Zarei and Chiara Zeta.
