Emily Ryalls: Divine Archives

06 December 2025 - 28 February 2026

Join us for a private view and drinks reception on Friday 5 December from 18:00-20:00 with speeches at 18:15. RSVP.

Wakefield-born artist Emily Ryalls explores the body as a living archive of memory and knowledge in this latest exhibition.
Through performance, sculpture, and photography, she has collaborated with over 40 women to reimagine embodied memory through archiving, asking how we can care for, share, and preserve it.
The exhibition has become an active site of connection and discovery that will develop during the show through a programme of thoughtful feminist gatherings.
