Join me at the end of March for my second solo exhibition, ‘Girl Talk’, a project exploring the value and camaraderie found in women’s discussions, while re-framing gossip as a valuable tool for nurturing community bonding, information exchange and empowerment.
The project has been entirely collaborative in nature, inspired by both my own personal conversations with the women around me, and by the output from my tea party interviews with twenty-three women and gender non-conforming folk on the topic of ‘girl talk’ and the historical demonization of gossip. The objective of this project was to allow an insight into all of the clever, funny and, frankly, juicy girl talk happening across Glasgow, and perhaps share some knowledge.
The result was bringing groups of people together who had often never met before, sharing delicious gossip covering anything and everything from the intimacies of female friendship, anecdotal musings on casual sex, and the foundation on which the bonds that tie our communities rest - people talking.
In response to these interviews, I have created a body of visual art and a 50+ page magazine, exploring the conversations that took place. Come have a nosy at the final product for yourself at the end of March.
