In celebration of International Women Human Rights Defenders Day (29 November), 'The Gaze that Subverts' is an exclusive online exhibition of pieces by the painter Z.

Each painting tells a story of a woman or women who, in defiance of patriarchal structures and authoritarian repression, occupy public space in China in their fight for justice.

Z's paintings are both prompted by, and provide - in their embodiment, the bent torso, the flexed muscle - a response to, a central question of rights defence: 'How do we change unjust power relationships with the all-too-scarce resources we have at our disposal?'

The exhibition will run from 29 November 2020 through April 2021.
