Women in the Bible: Tricksters, Victors and (M)others

The Bible has had a formative influence on western civilisation, and despite
modern secular society, the religious, political and cultural impact of the Bible
endures. Biblical narratives and characters retain their resonance in popular
culture, particularly shaping our ideas about women, femininity and gender.

Through artworks and ritual objects, this exhibition will explore interpretations
of
women in the Bible throughout history.
