Total Hero Public Woman explores internal and external struggles women experience in 2025, and how their bodies can be the site of global-scale, instantaneous public scrutiny. Women’s bodies are governed, abused, dominated, objectified, adorned, and modified, cut up and stitched back together. This exhibition puts front and centre the question of how much of this is within our control, as a measure of the power we can expect and reclaim.

Exhibiting artists are Louise Rae, Isis Dorado, Lauren Broome, Yasmin Soto, Bethan Power and Phoebe Campbell.
