About the Exhibition
Do I Dare Eat A Peach? is a group exhibition celebrating gathering, consumption, and aging through the perspectives of five emerging female artists from the U.S. and U.K. Inspired by T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, the title symbolizes anxieties around judgment, particularly regarding femininity and sensuality. The works depict women reclaiming their narratives and challenging societal taboos, exploring themes of empowerment, identity, and community through gatherings, food, and drink. Featuring paintings, ceramics, and sculpture, the exhibition redefines stereotypes surrounding women's bodies, eating habits, and societal expectations, offering a powerful critique and celebration of female representation.
