A DANCE music exhibition celebrating women in electronic music will return to Bristol in 2023.
After its debut at Bristol’s Lost Horizon venue, the female-led Lady of the House music collective announced plans for its event on March 11, 2023.
The 2022 exhibition, which kicked off on International Women’s Day (March 8), included an under-18s day for local students led by Radio 1’s Jaguar, a production workshop with Bristol-based producer and DJ Mandidextrous, and a workshop to DJing with DJ Ty.

Spanish DJ, jewellery designer and celebrity stylist Sita Abellan, curated an exclusive selection of images for the LoTH art Installation, alongside Berlin-Russian based activist and artist Katya Kov, who displayed Europe’s multi-gendered club scene.
With live hologram performances by dance music legends such as Barbara Tucker and masterclasses that offered tips for female-presenting people in the music industry, the exhibition will return next year to continue its work to provide a safe space for women and LGBTQ+ folk in dance music and beyond.
Maya Battle, from LoTH, said: “I feel like I have attended the beginning of an incredible movement and come away feeling more inspired and empowered than ever. Each panel was eye opening and the energy in the room was palpable. I'm so proud to be a part of this community.”
Radio 1 DJ Charlie Tee, who closed the LoTH after-party, discussed why the exhibition is integral to the fight for inclusivity in the music industry. She said: “Sharing knowledge and experiences collectively will help those women breaking through to navigate this industry more confidently and events like this certainly help to facilitate this.
“A willingness to constantly assess the landscape and ask ‘what else still needs to be done to equalise the industry’ is a big part of it. This is something we can all collectively work on. It shouldn’t be left to women and other under-represented groups to evoke change for ourselves, we need those in higher positions of power to do the work also and work together with us.”
