Organised by BHVU Gallery, London, Braided Together is a truly dynamic exhibition that seeks to reinterpret the symbolism of hair through a multitude of female voices. PV, 6pm. 17 Feb.

Braided Together unites nine international contemporary women artists who each an interest in the symbolic expression of human hair either as material or subject in their work. Inspired by the work of women Surrealists, the exhibition investigates specifically female and art historical concerns such as fragility, loss and power. Featured works include painting, etching, sculpture, drawing, photography and video. All of the art historical and theoretical ideas raised by Braided Together are considered in an accompanying catalogue, which includes three commissioned essays by academics specializing in this field. In addition to images of all the exhibiting artist's work, the catalogue also features work by Elina Brotherus, Hong Zhang, Trish Morrissey and Kiki Smith.
