Female identifying artists and non-traditional practices such as textiles and floristry take centre-stage at the artist-led fair this month. The Other Art Fair, presented by Saatchi Art, returns to London’s Old Truman Brewery next weekend showcasing 150 game-changing artists alongside a vibrant programme of guest features. The line-up features a refreshing 62% female to 38% male ratio of exhibitors, with 50% London based artists and 10% BIPOC creators.
Championing Women in Art
Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, the fair continues its mission to reframe art, and how it is experienced; offering an art fair experience that is evocative, inclusive, and inspiring. In celebration of March’s International Women’s Day, this edition of the leading artist-led fair is focused on championing women in art and alternative practices sometimes excluded from the art world such as textiles and floristry. The diverse programme includes everything from special exhibitions, DJ sets, installations, workshops and even an art vending machine.
Chila Kumari Singh Burman is the Special Guest Artist
Trailblazing Chila Kumari Singh Burman will feature as the fair’s special guest artist. Chila, famed for her vibrant installation on the facade of Tate Britain during lockdown, will bring an exclusive print to the fair for just £250. “I have been continually flying the flag for South Asian artists, investigating representation, gender and cultural identity through my work. My recent installations have really resonated with us all, at a time of radical change post-pandemic. I’ve served as a trustee on the board of Rich Mix in Bethnal Green for over a decade and have created artworks still on display at the Kobi Nazrul Centre on Brick Lane so my connection to the area surrounding the Truman Brewery is a strong one too. I’m looking forward to returning to the area and displaying a selection of my works for The Other Art Fair.”
