The Sydney Morning Herald feminist reading group
This interactive performance is a reading group devoted to discussing that day's issue of The Sydney Morning Herald from a feminist perspective. The work uses the newspaper as a starting point for a wide-ranging, informal, and open to all examination of the media landscape through the lens of feminism, as well as the diversity of feminisms represented in the media. Each performance of the work changes to reflect the news of the day and the politics of the people participating.
Jen Kennedy is a Canadian writer, artist, and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Liz Linden is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York and the NSW South Coast. She is currently a PhD candidate in Visual Art at the University of Wollongong. Since 2008, Kennedy and Linden have collaborated on a number of projects, all of which create public platforms to explore what the word 'feminism' means in a contemporary context.
