Experience "May We?", a compelling collective art exhibition presented by Pussy Willow Power, a Naarm/Melbourne based feminist interdisciplinary artists' collective. This exhibition is a bold act of resistance against the subjugation of women, reclaiming the radical origins of Mother’s Day and May Day. Visitors will encounter a diverse range of media including photography, installation, printmaking, painting, sculpture, and video.
