Introducing Hey, Sis

Science Gallery London’s 2025 Just Futures Residents

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.

EVENT

Hey, Sis. Presents: The Science of Sisterhood

Free event. Friday 25 July 2025, 6.30pm - 9:30pm at Science Gallery London.

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.

And we’re unpacking it all through conversation, creation, and shared space.

Experience an evening of connection, creativity, and collective truth-telling with Hey, Sis. as we explore how women and femmes use care, sisterhood, and joy as tools for surviving, connecting and thriving.

Anthropologist and Facilitator Dr Zoë Goodman is facilitating the Residency. Zoë is from the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine and Visual Embodied Methodologies Network (VEM) at King's College London.

This project emerges from a collaboration between the VEM network (based at King’s College London), Science Gallery London and Hey, Sis. The VEM project Visual and Embodied Methodologies for Imaging Intersectional Gendered Violence, of which this collaboration forms part, is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council project ESX0116661.
