RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology

A survey of the relationship between gender and ecology to identify the systemic links between the oppression of women; feminised bodies and Black, trans and Indigenous communities; and the degradation of the planet.

Uniting film, photography and performance work by nearly fifty women and gender-nonconforming artists from across different decades, geographies and aesthetic strategies, RE/SISTERS reveals how a woman-centred vision of nature has been replaced by a mechanistic, patriarchal order organised around the exploitation of natural resources. 

Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Barbican, London, RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology. With work by Poulomi Basu, Judy Chicago, Tee Corinne, Nadia Huggins, Otobong Nkanga, Francesca Woodman, Barbara Kruger, LaToya Ruby Frazier, PARI (People’s Archive of Rural India), Zina Saro-Wiwa and more.
