My Body, Your Body - Exhibition

By Jalaya Rajwadi and Eve McGuire

My Body, Your Body, was a collaboratively curated exhibition created by Eve and Jalaya, which

displayed their own works, and work made by a selection of four other artists who currently study at

Goldsmiths or have recently graduated. It explored the topic of the female body and experiences

which come along with it, including those of non-binary/trans identities. Across all the participating

artists, there was a mixture of works relating to the theme, which were explored through multiple

different mediums such as painting, installation, video, photography, and textiles.

Eve and Jalaya are currently third year Fine Art with Art History and Fine Art students at Goldsmiths. Eve uses painting and installation as her main mediums, and Jalaya works across multiple medias, and both artists are interested in topics which surround the female body and experiences relating to it. Due to their shared passion for making artwork on this topic, they decided to collaboratively curate and organize this exhibition, My Body, Your Body.

Editor’s Note

My Body, Your Body was an exhibition cultivated to create impact on those who came to see it. The art selected reflects the deep routed feelings associated with the body, and each piece adds to the overall vision of the art work. It was amazing to see the abundance of talent shown between the six artists that participated, and I felt deeply connected with each of the works shown. It was an amazing showcase of relatable works, and I can’t wait to see what these artists create in the future.
