Events & Workshops.
Currently, Pink-collar Gallery doesn't have our own space so we are popping up at other venues around Sunderland. Check out what we have on offer!
Currently on display at Hills Art Centre - Collective Pulse: Art in Action.
Pink-collar Gallery proudly presents Collective Pulse: Art in Action, an exhibition series exploring activism, underrepresentation, and social equality through the themes of Environment, Community, Neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+. Hosted at Hills Art Centre in Sunderland, this powerful series will bring together 16 artists whose work engages with both personal and collective stories, reflecting the gallery’s commitment to social change through art.
1st Exhibition - Environment
Kasia Parker //Kerry Lowes // Stephanie Pau // Dean Turnbull
Preview event - 3rd April 2025 - 6-8 pm
4th April - 5th May
This exhibition brings together artists whose work explores the intricate connections between human activity, environmental change, and the resilience of nature. Using a multidisciplinary approach that includes photography, sculpture, and installation, these artists invite us to engage with the environment in both literal and metaphorical ways, challenging us to reconsider our role in these ever-evolving ecosystems.
Collectively, the works in this exhibition serve as both witnesses and active participants in the ongoing shifts within our environment. They remind us, whether shaped by industry or nature, human-made or organic, we are in a perpetual state of transformation, constantly influenced by time, memory, and human intervention. Through this exploration, the exhibition prompts us to reflect on our impact and responsibilities, presenting narratives of loss and regeneration, destruction, and potential for change.
