LONDON

This March, The Other Art Fair is staying true to its name by challenging gender inequality in the art market with an impressive line-up of 69% female-identifying artists, and will include several unique new features focused on women. Artist Highlights include Joanna Pilarczyk’s vibrant portraits, Nadia Attura’s pastel-toned photography, Courtenay Kusitor’s abstract art, and Taya De La Cruz’s handwritten pieces. Lauren Mele’s arresting portraits explore femininity, while Kit Lintin’s still-lifes juxtapose everyday and symbolic elements. Willow Stacey returns with her witty textile pieces on womanhood, and Imogen Morris blends craft and fine art in her detailed works.

The East London Strippers Collective (ELSC) is making their art fair debut at The Other Art Fair in London. The collective, which supports and promotes self-organization among strippers and lap dancers, will present a curated hang and life drawing workshop series. The exhibited work will feature pieces created by members of the collective, many of whom are sex workers funding their artistic careers. The ELSC is dedicated to challenging the stigma around sex work, standing up to exploitation, and improving safety in the wider sex industry.

From screen printing to illustration, these are the names to know when attending The Other Art Fair this March: Kit Lintin, known for her magical realism; Hannah Gilson, an award-winning artist who combines painting with screen printing; NANA S.R.T., a visual artist specializing in photography that captures displays of human emotion; Carrie Jean Goldsmith, who creates mesmerizing abstract landscapes; and Kate Matsevych, whose art focuses on femininity and womanhood in all its form.
