An exhibition of works by eight women artists from countries including Myanmar, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and Venezuela, shown in the Atrium Gallery of the London School of Economics and Political Science. It is hosted by the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security and Artists Project Earth, a UK charity that turns artists' creative contributions into support for relief projects, and is curated by May East, a Trustee of the charity. The collection, commissioned since 2022, explores imagination as an act of resistance, turning from the battlefield to the intimate realities of civilian life, from domestic survival to memories of displacement and conflict's marks on bodies and relationships. Among the artists shown are Rala Tarabishi, Khin Thethtar Latt, Sarah Ndele and Dania Bucko, who together give form to experiences rarely captured in peace agreements and reconstruction plans.
