Girls Around The World

TEN MORE GIRLS PRESENTS:

GIRLS AROUND THE WORLD

The Ten More Girls collective is an internationally faceted group of female artists who

believe that they can make the world go round by creating beautiful & unique jewellery &

objects.

For the third year in a row they are uniting to hold an annual exhibition of contemporary

wearable art. The collective consists of ten female designers and makers who met while

studying at the Design Centre Enmore and who are committed to exhibiting every year to

promote and nurture the medium in their local community and beyond.

Having steadily built a buzz around their work in their previous shows,

Girls for Boys 2008 and Girls Against Gold

2009, the girls continue to explore contemporary themes and are

exhibiting

Girls Around the World at the recently relocated Gaffa Gallery in its

stunning new home, a heritage listed 3 story building on 281 Clarence Street in the CBD.

This years’ theme

Girls Around the World reflects the group’s interest in diverse

cultures, their love of travel and issues such as globalization, international politics, the

environment & human rights. Their stories, expressed through wearable artworks will be

fabricated from contemporary and traditional materials and promise to challenge

perceptions and capture the imagination.

The exhibition’s opening night is

Thursday the 9th September at Gaffa Gallery from 6-8pm and will be open daily until the 21st of September.An added bonus for gallery visitors will be a Meet the Maker event to be held on Saturday
