Artists rally against misogyny in east London

Artists rallied against misogyny and celebrated women in the arts at an exhibition in east London over the weekend.

Exhibition organiser Nasty Women UK is part of a global project sparked in response to the abuse spouted by US President Donald Trump against his rival candidate Hillary Clinton during the US presidential elections.

Over 40 exhibitions have taken place around the globe since the project’s inception earlier this year to protest against the “threats to roll back women’s rights, individual rights and abortion rights.”
