London Exhibitions Feature Feminist Pioneer, Brazilian Retrospective, and Postcolonial Healing

Mimosa House is showcasing Tomaso Binga, the male persona established in 1971 by Italian artist-activist Bianca Pucciarelli, until December 20. The exhibition features a wedding portrait from 1977 and pieces such as 'Scrittura Vivente' and 'Carta Da Parato' (1976), which critique patriarchal language. At The Whitechapel Gallery, Anna Maria Maiolino's retrospective, running through January 12, presents her recent clay sculptures and paper works alongside neoconcrete and feminist pieces from the 1960s-70s in Brazil. Goodman Gallery's first group exhibition, 'I've grown roses in this garden of mine,' from October 3 to November 2, delves into collective trauma and healing, showcasing works by various artists. Michael E. Smith's installation at Modern Art Vyner Street, open until December 14, features kayaks and a theremin, creating haunting soundscapes. Additionally, Stephan Dillemuth's 'Diskodekorationen' series from his Chicago house music era (1987-1989) is displayed at Le Bourgeois from October 5 to November 3, curated by Saim Demircan. These exhibitions in London explore themes of gender, memory, postcolonial critique, and sonic experimentation.
