DESCRIPTION:As part of the Centre for Biblical Studies’ CIDRAL-funded pro
 gramme of events entitled Encountering Biblical Bodies\, Creative Manche
 ster are pleased to host works from artist Sarah Lightman’s Biblical Dom
 estic and Menstrual Hystery series in the Samuel Alexander Glass Corrido
 r.\n\nIn these paintings\, biblical heroines trade halos for housework a
 nd divine serenity for the messy reality of ageing bodies\, menopause\, 
 and domestic labour. Working primarily in vibrant watercolours\, Lightma
 n reimagines figures like Judith\, Mary\, and Eve battling hot flushes\,
  cluttered kitchens\, and midlife. Rooted in the feminist Jewish traditi
 on of midrash\, these works fill in the biblical silences: the thoughts\
 , struggles\, and bodily truths left out of the male-dominated canon. Wi
 th wit\, irreverence\, and deep empathy\, Lightman asks what happens whe
 n we stop hiding ageing bodies and start painting the parts we were neve
 r told.\n\nThis exhibition will run from the 3rd March until the 26th Ma
 rch.
