Meera Shakti Osborne & others @ Women’s Museum

An Idea of a Life, responds to everyday histories of the women-led community who lived in Barking Abbey from c.666AD through to the early 16th Century. This exhibition tells stories that are both imagined and informed by archaeological finds, records and ongoing research emerging from the site of the former Abbey.

The exhibition holds newly commissioned artworks by Lesley Asare, Sarina Mantle and Meera Shakti Osborne alongside replicas of artefacts found during archeological excavations of the Abbey.
