It was only the second week of 2018, but bored with gloomy January already, an exhibition with colourful feminist art was exactly what the doctor ordered.
Curated by Florence Given, and in collaboration with Creative Debut, Girls, Uninterrupted held its private viewing last Thursday. First wave feminism is a rising culture. It's packed with passion and every one of the 21 artist on show have their own interruption of it through photography, print, paint, illustration, and sculpture.
With a waiting time of twenty minutes, the bulging queue on Shoreditch's Curtain Road eventually intertwined with after work pub goers outside The Barley Mow. Fashionable attendees were greeted by one half of the Creative Debut duo at the door.
Inside, the dimly lit ground floor was buzzing with people grabbing a drink at the bar. Descending down the concrete staircase, the basement was the real star of the show. The art space was jam packed, there wasn't an inch of space available. Curator and London College of Fashion student Florence was floating from group to group greeting guests. Manoeuvring the exhibition was a bit of a task. My friend was so conscious of her massive bag that she found it easier to step aside. As far as opening night shows go, these vibrant walls were a roaring success.

The uncensored exhibition discussed everything from religion to mammories, and judging from social media, the
party went on late with
Femme Culture suppling a DJ set.
