🎨 She Sees Art — 4A Gallery - Andy Ewing & Kirthana Selvaraj

🎨 **Shake things up and you'll see new colours.** **Please note: She Sees Art is a women-only group and event. Women of all backgrounds are welcome.** Why not mix up your weekend routine by joining like-minded women to explore art, discover new perspectives and enjoy a coffee and good company along the way? We'll start with coffee at **Sol Coffee House** in Haymarket before heading to **4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art** to explore two exhibitions: **Andy Ewing: Ancestor Spirits** and **Kirthana Selvaraj: In the Half Light**. The exhibitions close in mid-December, so I've added an extra November outing to the calendar rather than waiting for our next monthly event! **ART FOCUS** Contemporary art · Cultural heritage · Identity & belonging · Queer perspectives · The body & personal stories **A NOTE ON THE EXHIBITIONS** These contemporary art exhibitions explore cultural heritage, identity, queerness, sexuality, illness and the body. The works include personal and potentially challenging subject matter. Please feel free to read more about the exhibitions on the [4A website](https://4a.com.au/exhibitions/andy-ewing-ancestor-spirits/) before attending. ⏰ **PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT STARTS AT 10:30AM**, a little later than some of our other outings due to museum opening hours. We'll meet for coffee before heading to the gallery at 11:00am. The event will wrap up around 12:00–12:30pm. **WHERE WE'RE GOING** ☕ **Meeting point: SOL Coffee House, Haymarket** 181-187 Hay St, Haymarket NSW 2000 🎨 **Art destination: 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art** 181-187 Hay St, Haymarket NSW 2000 **Can't make the coffee? No problem!** You're very welcome to meet us outside 4A at 11:00am. * Women of all ages welcome * No art knowledge required, just curiosity! * Free to attend — exhibition entry is free; everyone pays for their own coffee and food **Coming on your own?** That's completely fine! She Sees Art is about enjoying art and culture together and getting to know other women in a relaxed, welcoming setting. I'll share any final updates, including what I'm wearing so you'll know who to look for, in the Meetup group chat. **Questions?** First time joining us, or have a question about the event? Feel free to email me at sheseesartsydney@gmail.com. I'm happy to help! I can't wait to see you all! 🎨✨ *Cover Image: Andy Ewing: Ancestor Spirits and Kirthana Selvaraj: In the Half Light (installation view), 2026. Photographs by Document Photography.*
