OTHER Pt.1 Survival& The Stories of Other

OTHER Pt. 1 Survival is an original exhibition of new work by the renowned East London printmaker and educator Aida Wilde, staged in collaboration with Nasty Gallery’s group show and public events programme “& Stories of Other”. Presented during International Women’s Day weekend and occupying the entire first floor of the building, this radical takeover is rooted in the long-standing feminist tradition of punk and DIY, echoing the spirit of Judy Chicago’s Womanhouse.
A space for defiance, reflection, and collective expression, it transforms the space into a living, breathing site of resistance and reclamation. Titled after the experience of always having to tick the ‘other’ box on forms and legal documents, this exhibition draws from the artist’s lived experience as a political asylum seeker, fleeing the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and moving to the UK with her family.
Comprising over 30 handmade textile banners that explore and question ideas around cultural commentary, belonging and identity purgatory, this is a de facto homecoming for Aida Wilde who started her career in Brick Lane.
Nasty Gallery’s “& Stories of Other”, is a 3-day residency by artists Paige Megan Hawley, CW Stubbs, Apparan, Lior Hatt and Boa Swindler, envisioned as a happening to run alongside the OTHER. The programme invites participants to explore themes of being the “Other”, belonging and resilience through artist surgeries, life drawing workshops, spoken word performances and mental health sessions.

At Nasty Gallery, we are committed to empowering women in the arts and creating a space where their voices, visions, and talents are celebrated. Our mission is to provide a platform for underrepresented women artists, from recent graduates stepping into the art world to mothers rediscovering their creative passions and retired artists reclaiming their artistic narratives.
We believe in fostering an inclusive environment where women can share their stories, exhibit their work, and perform without barriers. By showcasing diverse talents and experiences, Nasty Gallery continues to push for women’s rights, amplify voices, and advocate for a future where women’s contributions to art are seen, valued, and celebrated.
Join us in supporting a movement that uplifts women and reshapes the art world.
Join, our go fund me campaign
“78 per cent of the galleries represent more men than women, while only 5 per cent represent an equal number of male and female artists. And beyond the statistics, women artists and curators face unique challenges, from the subjects they bring to light to the work they choose to present”- Tate Modern
Our intention is to bring exhibitions, performance, spoken word and debate via exciting and thought provoking events. We are currently unfunded, but on it. Our mission is to secure a permanent space. We need to raise £15k to get match funding in order to achieve our goal. We are currently raising what we can from running workshops and pop up events. All of the team volunteer their time and more often than not, their money, so, in order to help us to keep on keeping on and press forward with providing quality underrepresented women a spot to shine, we would be very grateful if you could support us by making a donation of any amount or by purchasing our merchandise. All profit goes into continuing our events and crucially, towards finding a permanent home.
