Barbara Hanrahan works on paper 1960-1991

A Flinders University Museum of Art exhibition curated by Nic Brown

The Hanrahan Studio

Ground floor, Professional Services Building
Located behind Grind & Press Cafe
Flinders University, Bedford Park

This display features a small selection of works from the first major survey of artist Barbara Hanrahan's prolific printmaking career which brings to the fore the artist's feminist critique on the role of women and the family in domestic suburbia within an Australian context and explores the reverberation of these concerns in the 21st century.

The exhibition continues at Flinders University Museum of Art (located ground floor, Social Sciences North building) until 1 October 2021.
