Exhibition of Illustrated Women in History
2016-04-09 17:00 - 2016-04-21 17:00 | HOURS Space, 10 Colston Yard, Bristol, BS1 5BD , United Kingdom
Julie Gough is a graphic designer, illustrator and art teacher based in Bristol. Her Illustrated Women in History series began after the news broke about a Jack the Ripper museum in London which was due to open. The museum had been granted permission to open in order to celebrate women in history, and to have changed this to celebrate someone who brutally murdered women instead was outrageous. It made her think about how much she actually knew about women in history, and apart from a few names she knew very little. So she decided that it was important to learn about some of the women that have contributed to, and shaped our history and celebrate their achievements by illustrating them.
She will be exhibiting selected illustrations from the series at HOURS with a DJ set by FAN CLUB. Illustrated Women in History prints, postcards and zines will be available as well as FAN CLUB zines.
Public Launch event April 9th 5-9 pm.
Public opening times: Sunday 10th April 10am-4pm and by arrangement, until April 21st. Free

Memory Card #1 is a zine dedicated to the video games of our youth that don’t get enough attention. In particular, “girly” and educational CD-roms we forgot about when we grew older and moved onto “better” games, or abandoned playing them forever. The zine features writing and art using these games as inspiration.
Visit www.memorycardzine.tumblr.com for more info!
The Memory Card launch party will be a fun night dedicated to bringing these memories alive and revisiting these games as adults, finding joy in them once again!

Late at Tate Britain: My Bed
2016-04-01 18:00 - 22:00 | Tate Britain, Millbank, London, SW1P 4RG, United Kingdom
April’s Late at Tate Britain is themed around Tracey Emin’s artwork My Bed. When this artwork was first exhibited in 1999 it caused a public outcry. How could an unmade bed be art? There’s a soiled bedsheet with various bits and pieces scattered around including condoms, dirty knickers, empty vodka bottles and cigarette packets. Controversial like many of Emin’s works,My Bed explores difficult themes like sexuality, relationships and gender. And we will too, through this exciting new programme.
Laid Bare: A Zine Making Workshop
This drop-in workshop with artist Rudy Loewe invites you to create a zine exploring your own truths around gender and sexuality.
Rudy Loewe’s practice includes drawings, comics, illustrations and prints. Loewe uses satire and comedy to explore a wide range of social issues including racism, sexuality, gender, disability and mental health.
