'Rebel Women from the Apocrypha'

Ani­ma Mun­di are delight­ed to present Rebel Women from the Apoc­rypha’, a solo exhi­bi­tion of a new series of etch­ings by Mar­celle Hanselaar

Anima Mundi are delighted to present ‘Rebel Women from the Apocrypha’, a solo exhibition which features a new series of prints from Marcelle Hanselaar shown in its entirety and runs concurrently to her central participation in 'Bearing Witness? Violence and Trauma on Paper’ at The Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge alongside Francisco Goya, Otto Dix, Leo Haas, Jean Rustin, Chapman Brothers, Jane Joseph, Eduard Manet, Pablo Picasso and Judy Watson.

“I initially learnt about these feisty heroines from early paintings and began researching their stories out of curiosity. Not only are these women early feminists, standing up to male domination, but what is so fascinating is the illogicality of these texts. They read like the uttering of an oracle and have, throughout time, been open to many interpretations. I have given my own, contemporary take as these themes are as relevant as ever. Assertiveness in women is still often criticised or curtailed and I feel that these ancient, imaginary narratives give us a much-needed energising subversiveness.”
— Marcelle Hanselaar

Hanselaars exhibition cohabits alongside Roy Eastland's 'Displaced Portraits' and David Coopers 'War Hed'.
