About the Event
Step back into the lavish world of the Baroque, an era of opulence, excess, and artistry and meet the women who helped define it but were written out of history.
Art Goss Presents: Unapologetically Baroque — The Bad Bitches of the Era shines a light on the bold, brilliant, and overlooked women of the 17th century. From visionary painters to daring patrons and muses, we’ll uncover their stories, explore their art, and reclaim their place in one of the most decadent periods of art history.
Hosted by artist and curator Liv Askwith, whose practice explores hyper-femininity and draws richly from the history of art, this talk promises equal parts art gossip, storytelling, and sass.
🔞 Note: Adults only — lots of swearing, sass, and no-holds-barred commentary included.
Join us for a night of rich visuals, rebellious women, and unapologetic art history.
🎥 Pink-Collar Gallery Commission for The Culture House
Currently on display at The Pavilion – or watch it online below!
We’re proud to present a new animated short film commissioned by Pink-Collar Gallery for the Culture House Expo Sunderland Pavilion—now live!
This dynamic piece is part of our series of commissioned films contributing to the Culture House's pre-opening programme, spotlighting Sunderland’s vibrant creative community.
Animated by: Arlo Howard & Anthony Deligiannis
Audio produced by: Ynez Tulsen & Tanya Trayanovich
Featuring local artists Sullivan Alenezi, Ellie Clewlow, Jordan Quinn, and Sally Anderson, the film explores their inspirations, personal journeys, and how the city of Sunderland has shaped their practice.
Through bold animation and immersive audio storytelling, this project not only celebrates Sunderland’s cultural scene but also makes the case that creativity is for everyone—whether it’s a passion or a profession.
As part of the commission, Pink-Collar Gallery collaborated with students from University of Sunderland, offering real-world experience to emerging creatives and showcasing pathways to building creative careers right here in the city.
