"Like" — connected online. exhibited irl
A group exhibition exploring connection, community and contemporary female voices
Like: connected online. exhibited irl brings together eight female artists who first formed connections in digital spaces and are now exhibiting side by side in a physical setting for the first time.
Taking place at KIT FORM from 19–25 May 2026, the exhibition explores how meaningful creative relationships can be built online, and how those connections translate into real-world community, collaboration and support.
Featuring work by Ellie Kerr-Smiley, Ellis King, Flo Lee, Heidi Clawson, Jasmine Rosten-Edwards, Katie Jones, Lucy Pass and Michelle Heron, the exhibition brings together distinct practices spanning painting and mixed media.
Through their work, the artists explore themes of identity, womanhood, memory and everyday experience, creating an exhibition that is both personal and collective in its voice.
Emerging from a space often defined by speed, visibility and fleeting interaction, Like offers something more considered. It invites viewers to pause, to look more closely, and to reflect on the ways art helps us understand ourselves and each other.
The exhibition also offers a timely reflection on the evolving nature of artistic communities in the digital age, where boundaries between virtual and physical spaces continue to blur.
Visitors are invited to attend the private view on 21 May from 6–8pm.
