Poster for This is an Anarcha-Feminist Takeover

Ana Hine was a multi-media artist and journalist whose work is centred around feminist issues.

The body of work created for This is an Anarcha-Feminist Takeover was deliberately small-scale and almost disposable, including bracelets, badges, patches and zines.

This Is An Anarcha-Feminist Takeover was Hine’s first solo art exhibition and is a comment on the intersections between feminist and anarchist politics and aesthetics. It will feature modified tents, graffiti stencils, embroideries, spoken-word performance, and an honesty-based pop-up shop.
