Supporting creative independence since 1995

Gallery

Numerous tales intertwine with the enigmatic figure of Lilith, Adam's first wife. In one rendition, her expulsion from the Garden of Eden stems from her insistence on being on top during intercourse, while in another, she morphs into a perilous nocturnal demon, snatching babies in the cover of darkness. Other narratives cast her as the very serpent tempting Eve. Lilith emerges as the symbol of the disobedient, uncontrollable, and dangerously alluring woman. This show endeavors to write and rewrite Lilith’s story. What if history had been chronicled by Lilith herself? How would painting evolve under her influence? These questions are at the heart of the creative endeavor that unfolds in the 'Books of Lilith.'

Opening: Friday 5th June 18:00 - 20:00
