“Obscure Secure” includes work by Connie Winn, Peggy Somerville, Anna Airy, Effie Spring-Smith, Kathleen Walne, Helen Kiddall, Prunella Clough, Beatrice Lithiby, Lucy Harwood and Eleanor Every.

The works form part of the borough’s collection and were selected by artists Claudia Böse, Hayley Field and Jacqueline Utley, who have created new work in response.

A programme of talks at Christchurch Mansion explores ideas developed during the project.

The exhibition opens on September 6 and runs until January 18 next year.

Entry to Christchurch Mansion and Wolsey Art Gallery is free.
