Western Sydney artist Linda Brescia exhibits recent works that explore the complexities of what it means to live as a woman in our contemporary moment and highlight the history of resilience that exists within women artists and authors. Portraits of Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins – figures that to Brescia represent the varied experiences of women in the public sphere, as both fierce advocates for safety and representation, as well as figures for whom anonymity is not an option – are included in the show.
