A conversation between sculpture and museum collections
Exhibition runs from 8 to 16 March 2022
La Perouse Museum is delighted to host a selection of female torsos by the renowned sculptor Feyona van Stom to celebrate 2022 International Women’s Day.
The exhibition comprises powerful and alluring sculptures in a range of media, juxtaposed alongside the Museum’s permanent collections. The resulting ‘conversations’ between Ms. van Stom’s stunning works and the collection throughout the Museum not only challenge the predominantly traditionally patriarchal readings of history, but also create unexpected and beautifully aesthetic connections between the old and the new.
