'Name Calling' Mosaic Exhibition by Scandalous Shards

'Name Calling' is an exhibition presented by Rachel Shilston - Inspiring Creativity 's alter ego  Scandalous Shards and features eighteen female torsos exploring the impact of name-calling, both playful and derogatory, on women’s identities.

Each torso in Name Calling, embodies a label, from Man Eater and Gold Digger to Prick Teaser – exposing the weight of the stereotypes imposed on the female body. None of the figures have faces. Instead, each has a mirror where the face would be – inviting you to step in, see yourself reflected and become part of the artwork. It’s interactive, it's uncomfortable, it’s playful and it’s meant to provoke reflection, reaction and maybe even a photo or two.

Name Calling isn’t a quiet exhibition. It’s a conversation. A confrontation and a celebration of the female form – the weight of words and the power of reclaiming them.

You can view the exhibition from 6-13th September (closed 7th/8th), at The George Cafe, Lower George House. High Street. Newnham. GL14 1BS.
