Kirsha Kaechele’s installation Ladies Lounge opened in Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in 2020, and sees women who enter the space being pampered by male butlers and served champagne while being surrounded by some of the museum’s finest pieces of art. Those who do not identify as women are not permitted entry.

What a wonderful subversion of roles. Traditionally these sorts of rich people galas are male dominated, so it’s a nice change of pace to see it inverted for once.
