In association with the Royal Society of Sculptors and The Royal Parks
To mark International Women’s Day, Friends of Brompton Cemetery is proud to present a group exhibition in the Chapel at Brompton Cemetery on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March 2026, featuring works by Helen Barff MRSS, Pippa Beveridge MRSS, Alice Cunningham MRSS, Rachel Goodison MRSS, Lisa Pettibone MRSS, and Sato Sugamoto MRSS. The exhibition is developed in partnership with women artists who are members of the Royal Society of Sculptors and is curated by Catherine Li, FoBC Chapel Curator.
Titled Deep Veins, the exhibition brings together works that think through motherhood, craft, and the female body as a system of connection and endurance.
Veins run through the exhibition as an image that stays close to the Friends of Brompton Cemetery body while reaching outward into materials and the natural world, as circulation and inheritance, and as a material logic found across organic forms and sculptural structures shaped by them. Making is central.
Handwork, texture, and repetition draw attention to what is often kept unseen, including the labour of care, the entanglement of body and role, and the ways resilience is built slowly over time.
