International women artists' exhibition explores the question 'Where is Home?'

Talented Bulgarian artist Paola Minekov has teamed up with seven international women artists to stage an art exhibition which explores the universal and powerful concept of Home.

The exhibition, entitled Home: Contemporary Female Masters, portrays women's experience of choosing to migrate and build a home in a foreign country. This relatively new social phenomenon is examined in depth by seven mid career international women artists with strong links to Europe, the Middle East, America and Africa. They explore their experience of establishing themselves and building the elements of what they perceive as 'home' wherever they are in the world.

As Paola puts it, 'My generation of women may not have all the answers to the questions raised by the effects of migration on women,  but we are uniquely equipped to ask them.' And their questions resonate with women of all ages, everywhere.

The blog for the exhibition, which gives information about all the artists, is at http://home-exhibition.blogspot.co.uk/p/exhibition-concept_30.html and is updated regularly as the launch date approaches.

Paola, who will be exhibiting her own work at the exhibition alongside her fellow artists, was inspired to come up with the concept by her own experiences of moving home. She lived in Bulgaria, Israel, the United States and the Netherlands before moving to London in 2008. 

  

The exhibition will run from Friday 11 October until Saturday 19 October and is open from 11am to 7.30 pm Mon-Fri and Sat 11 to 4pm.
