GIRLHOOD
In this exhibition, the fifth-year art students in Loreto High School Beaufort explore the theme ‘Girlhood’, in the context of their own personal lives. Their work was created in collaboration with the artist Dragana Jurišić and supported by their art teacher Clare Bowe. Each artist brought their own unique perspective to a collaborative interpretation of the theme. Jurisic provided artistic guidance and empowered the students to explore their individuality. Jurišić says:
We explored girlhood and the gender stereotypes that often limit aspirations and self-expression in teenage girls. Today, young girls are bombarded with conflicting ideas about who they are supposed to be and what they should value, causing confusion and insecurity. Exploration of this topic will hopefully be empowering to the participants and enhance self-confidence and self-awareness.
This project was supported by WorldWise Global Schools 2023-24 and Loreto High School Beaufort. Thank you to all the wonderful team at The Pearse Museum for facilitating this exhibition.
