A new art exhibition titled "The Silence Between Us" is opening at Studio 18 in Brimscombe, Stroud, exploring modern misogyny through works by young women and men from the local area. The show spans photography, textiles, paintings, poetry, and dialogue, with an opening night on December 11 and a public run from December 12 to 18.
The exhibition matters because it offers a young, community-driven response to a pressing social issue—misogyny—using art as a tool for conversation and understanding rather than division. It highlights how local galleries like Studio 18, transformed from a disused industrial building by Real Arts and Media, can serve as platforms for urgent cultural dialogue.
