Christ Church ✕ PSiCHArt Virtual Art Event

A big thank you to watercolour artist Valeria Szucs for the brilliant finished product from our PSiCHartXChrist Church session!
 
The painting was inspired by discussion with our current members and alumni on Wednesday 30th June, around the topic of 40 Years of Women at the House. The conversation included the significance of visual diversification in college, such as portraits of women in the Dining Hall; the importance of connecting with people in the community, such as women porters and college staff; and developing sisterhood among women freshers. There was also focus on future action, such as increasing efforts to encourage women from all backgrounds to apply to the College.

Thank you to all those who participated. We are looking forward to exhibiting the painting and sharing the printed postcards at our anniversary weekend in September!
