This exhibition was created by myself and 2 other University course mates at The Pankhurst Centre in Manchester. The exhibition centred on exploring gender politics. From the off I was fairly certain that I wanted to recreate my risograph wall on an even bigger scale. However I felt like in an exhibition vicinity it would be too plain on it’s own. After reading about black feminism I had the idea to make a poster in the style of the one I had already made about sexism in the film industry, and display them together hung up, so my risograph wall became a kind of backdrop. To bring it all together I added a recording of the text from my confessional book using a series of different voices. This gave the viewer the opportunity to interact with several different things to take more in. In the past my more personal work and my statistic work have been separate entities but this time I merged them together to work hand in hand and I think it worked better than they have before. It enabled to viewer to listen to the confessions and read the statistics in a different light if they read them before because they could take the statistics in a more personal light upon hearing the confessions from real people, it allowed them to not be able to disassociate from the statistics.
I also created the exhibition poster using risograph prints and fridge style magnets to create the text. It was really interesting to create a risograph poster as it added lots of different layers of different colours and enabled me to use more things in the poster without it overcrowding it too much.
