Speaking Back opens at the Goodman Gallery on Saturday 23 May and features a dance performance by Adejoke Tugbiyele at 12 noon.
Speaking Back seeks to reveal deeply significant dimensions of culture and subjectivity, history and struggle, by bringing women together as diverse artists to find out what each in her artistically signified yet gendered/racial/sexual/cultural singularity is offering to the world, to us all.
It seeks to attain a more complete knowledge of that world, as it is lived, from multiple positions over time and space.
Speaking Back suggests and invites an encounter with expanded methods of cultural inquiry and the heterogeneity and creativity of contemporary art in the work of the artists.
