No More Page 3 invite you to explore Joana Vasconcelos' work in relation to the No More Page 3 campaign and discuss why representation matters.
Our Exhibition Time Machine by Joana Vasconcelos exhibition can be considered very much as a critique of contemporary society that destabilises traditional views of female sexuality, the status of women and consumer culture.
Page 3 is considered by many as a sexist '70s hangover that re-asserts the view, in one of the country's largest 'family' newspapers, that women are there to titillate, a pure object of male desire. Something that really takes the status of women back in time!
No More Page 3 invite you to explore Joana Vasconcelos' work in relation to the No More Page 3 campaign and discuss why representation matters.
We will be looking particularly at the works Big Booby #2 and Bond Girl. There'll be open, relaxed and creative discussion and a minutes respect for the Booby and a collective group poem creation/discussion that looks at aspects of gender in Vasconcelos' work, Page 3, the gallery space itself and society as a whole.
Booking
Let's get together to discuss why representation really matters.
Meet us in the Atrium at 10.50. Information about the campaign and opportunities to sign the petition will be available.
This is a free event, no tickets required, but please book a place at Eventbrite.
Please note: Due to the next #bringbackourgirls rally being at 1pm in Piccadilly Gardens we have brought the time for this event forward to 11am, and will be ending at 1pm, to enable people wishing to attend both (including ourselves) to be able to do so.
