GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS
Aphrodite Papadatou’s expressive, contorted, Egon Schiele-esque paintings depict a range of female characters, charting a range of emotions and experiences that tell a story of coming of age and sexuality – or as the artist puts it ‘GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS is a war cry – a shout of liberation from chains of all kinds’.
until 30 September 2015, Dalston Superstore, Kingsland High St, London E8

Atomic Visions
An exhibition of jewellery from Sandra Tepla and Billie M Vigne that each distinctly explore an imminent nuclear apocalypse. Tepla’s dystopian textile pieces explore pre-apocalypse concepts of empowerment and dominance and her post-fallout visions make use of scavenged metal. Billie M Vigne’s X: The Bomb, the Whale and the Phallus is a necklace and nuclear dowry modeled on Tamil Nadu marriage necklaces.
4 August – 9 August 2015, Craft Central, Showcase Gallery, St John’s Square, London EC1M
