SUMMARY:Consumed: Exhibition by Women’s Research Wānanga
DESCRIPTION:ArtHouse Jersey is proud to present Consumed, a bold new transdisciplinary exhibition by Women’s Research Wānanga (WRW), opening at their ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House gallery on Friday 24 October 2025 and running until 30 November 2025.\nDeveloped through residencies hosted by ArtHouse Jersey in 2024 and 2025, as well as an international residency in Trélex, Switzerland, Consumed brings together the collaborative and individual practices of WRW artists Emma D. McGuire, Nina Rodin, D.Phil; Lindsay Rutter, Dr. Caitlin Shepherd and Rychèl Thérin Scott, alongside invited guest artists.\nThe exhibition, which features over 70 artworks and a unique karaoke booth, places women’s lived experiences at its centre, confronting and celebrating themes such as care, queerness, motherhood, radical joy, indigenous identities, gender, class, and resistance to structural inequities. Through textiles, painting, sculpture, video, performance, installation, photography, and interactive spaces, the artists invite audiences to engage with challenging, urgent, and transformative ideas.\nConsumed Karaoke Booth\nUnique to Consumed is the specially created Karaoke Booth, inviting visitors to release their voices and emotions by singing along with icons such as Skunk Anansie, Aretha Franklin, and Florence and the Machine. Designed as a space of catharsis and joy, the Karaoke Room offers a playful yet powerful way to engage with the exhibition’s themes of resistance, survival, and expression. Balancing this energy, the Library and Reflection Area provides a quieter, restorative space with comfortable seating for reading, breastfeeding, or simply resting, along with charging points and a curated bookshelf featuring writers such as Sara Ahmed, bell hooks, and Hollie McNish. Here, visitors can also spend time with Lindsay Rutter’s touchstone installation, handling and reflecting on each piece. Together, these spaces extend the exhibition experience beyond traditional art-viewing, creating opportunities for audiences to release, reflect, and reconnect.\nWomen’s Research Wānanga artists said: “Our works in Consumed wrestle with bodies that hurt and heal, with lives shaped by illness, care, motherhood, and precarity.\n“We carve out space to rage, laugh, fight, and dance against the inequities of late capitalism and the expectations placed on us. Together we share rituals of rebirth, create guardians to witness our becoming, stitch and mould art from the shifting ground of everyday struggle, and confront the forces that both nourish and devour us. What consumes us also fuels us: our work is a refusal to stay silent, a celebration of survival, and a collective exorcism of the unspoken.”\nJames Tyson, Head of Programme at ArtHouse Jersey, added: “Consumed is an extraordinary project that exemplifies what ArtHouse Jersey strives to support: collaborative, experimental work that connects lived experience to powerful artistic expression. Women’s Research Wānanga have developed something deeply resonant here, and we are excited for audiences in Jersey to engage with this dynamic and necessary exhibition.”\n\nPictured: Emma D McGuire, Washed Ashore IV\n
