Introducing Hey, Sis
Science Gallery London’s 2025 Just Futures Residents
“For the shakers and movers, thinkers and innovators, creators and visionaries, for sisterhood seekers”
- Hey, Sis.
Hey, Sis. is a platform where Gen Z women and girls - from the global majority - can connect, create and thrive free from societal limitations.
Their mission is to create digital and in-person safe spaces, experiences and resources that serve as space to build meaningful connections, artistic expression and exploration, utilising creativity and sisterhood as a tool for joy, liberation and resilience.
Founded in 2019 by Shelby Bootle, they’ve been creating creative third spaces, experiences and opportunities for personal and professional growth, individually and collectively, including events, workshops, and resources that inspire women to excel and explore their potential.
As the 2025 Just Futures Residents at the Science Gallery, Hey, Sis. will be using visual and embodied methods to explore the theme of ‘Joy As Resistance’ - and engage with the wider Visual Embodied Methodologies Network at King's.

PAST EVENT
This conversation was part of the event, Hey, Sis. Presents: The Science of Sisterhood
It was recorded live at Science Gallery London — Friday 25 July 2025, 7:15–8:15pm
What if sisterhood was more than a feeling—what if it could change your life?
Sisterhood isn’t a soft extra - it’s a science and a survival strategy. For women of the Global Majority, community isn’t just comforting; it’s revolutionary.
“We’re calling out to all the sisters we’ve known, and the ones we’ve yet to meet — it’s time to talk!”
This powerful, interactive event invited audiences into an unfiltered conversation exploring the Science of Sisterhood - a raw and revelatory look at how we build, nurture, and sustain the bonds that keep us surviving, connecting, and thriving.
Through dynamic discussion, lived experience, and real-time audience engagement, speakers and participants unpacked:
How to build sisterhoods rooted in authenticity, cultural power, and shared purpose
How to nurture relationships in a world designed to divide
How to sustain them through joy, accountability, and advocacy
