For one whole month, artists from all over the world will be transforming everyday places into unexpected art experiences – think shop windows, cafes, libraries, parks, and more. Art is truly everywhere

It's the ideal way to pause, recaffeinate and reflect. So, make sure you visit The Press Room to see the works for yourself…

After a hugely popular Touchlines of Fortitude exhibition at The Beach Gallery, selected works by local artists Agnieszka Lokaj, Tahira Mandarino and Gina DeCagna celebrating female strength and resilience have moved to The Press Room in Twickenham – the spiritual home of rugby, and host to the 2025 Women's World Cup Final.

Each artist has taken their own uniquely personal approach to exploring women's stories of strength and empowerment to create a display with diverse and thought-provoking imagery. Influenced by personal experiences, each one of us viewing the exhibition will have our own interpretation of the work. Please take time to explore and enjoy the works to discover your own stories within them.

Agnieszka's work in this exhibition captures the sheer physicality of women's rugby. These dynamic portrayals of powerful women on the pitch would not have been possible if it not been for the determination of girls and women to pursue the sport they love. Please see paintings inspired by Megan Jones, Ellie Kildunne , Emily Scarratt and Abby Dow.
