‘The Scarlet Women project’ was led and produced by artist Sally Annett and historian of religion Dr Manon Hedenborg White and addressed concepts of the divine and suppressed feminine in her pariah aspects, often unnamed but hidden in plain sight.

The exhibition offered contemporary imaginings and manifestations of the ‘Scarlet Woman’. These take the form of audio-visual installation, photographs, films, prints, paintings, collage, sculpture, text and artefacts as well as a region wide scarlet trail. Based in the ATELIER MELUSINE in the French town of La Trimouille and the nearby Château Mareuil the work presented the Scarlet Women from a female perspective. The exhibition was accompanied by a series of expert lectures, panels and dialogues exploring the iconic feminine form from the Western esoteric, contemporary combined arts and ancient biblical and Talmudic perspective.

Exhibiting artists and experts include: Penny Slinger, Stephen Pope, Siena Barnes, Roberta Gotti, Francesca Lucidi, Eva Macali, Eva Loubrieu, Sarah Sparkes, Hazel Florez, Cinzia Cremona, Yiota Panayiotis, Elisha Fall, Censi Annett-Henry, Tiffany Trenda, Bint Al-Shalabiya, Henrik Bogdan, Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir, Margaret Haines, Emily Jane & Alana Bowden + ANON
