Any, Body, Home

Warrington Museum & Art Gallery – Regular opening times

Curated by Culture Warrington Associate Artist Marie Jones.

Warrington Museum & Art Gallery is proud to present Any, Body, Home – a group exhibition bringing together works by a diverse roster of local, national and international female artists. Any, Body, Home explores the theme of ‘home’ from a female perspective – both literally and figuratively.

Featuring works by Natalie Baxter, Susie Green, Marie Jones, Ivy Kalungi, Rachel Maclean, Flo Perry, Amalia Pica, Freddie Robins, Emily Speed, and Katie Tomlinson, the exhibition spans painting, sculpture, film, installation and performance.

At its core, Any, Body, Home questions and re-imagines the domestic, spotlighting narratives around power, identity, beauty, labour, memory and belonging. It looks beyond the windows through which we often view the world, opening up intimate and critical reflections on how ‘home’ is experienced, shaped and claimed.

The works in this collective exhibition are bound by a shared concern with the domestic and the bodily – how spaces shape us, and how we shape them. From architectural spaces that mirror cultural displacement to garments that speak of inherited roles, from homes of control and violence to sites of care and ritual, the show reveals the domestic as both sanctuary and site of struggle. The body, often central – whether adorned, trapped, performing, or dissolving into its surroundings – becomes a vessel for storytelling and resistance. Together, these works disrupt conventional ideas of femininity and homemaking, offering alternative, sometimes subversive narratives that challenge what it means to dwell, to nurture and to belong.

Any, Body, Home is supported by Arts Council England, Warrington Museum & Art Gallery, Culture Warrington, Warrington Arts Festival, Grundy Art Gallery, and Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum. With thanks to Curatorial Mentor – Paulette Brien, Curator Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool.
