I AM HUMAN, NOT A WORKING MACHINE 💜

“Powerful and important work on display in this exhibition!”

“So amazing to see the beauty, resilience and ferocity expressed by the women in this work.”

These are some of the reflections shared by visitors at the opening of 'I Am Human, Not a Working Machine', which opened yesterday at Romano Lav Cultural Centre.

An exhibition of feminist artworks, posters, collages and zines, presented through Feminist Exchange Network’s (FEN) Mobile Library Project, in collaboration with AMINA, MILK Community and Romano Lav.

Bringing together creative voices and lived experiences, the exhibition invites us to pause and reflect on the labour, care, resilience and creativity of women and mothers — and to question the expectations that so often go unrecognised.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us for the opening, spent time with the work and shared their thoughts. A heartfelt thank you to all the women and collaborators whose creativity, experiences and contributions have brought this exhibition to life.

✨ The exhibition continues, and we warmly invite you to experience it for yourself.
