The View From Here pairs eight writers with eight artists to examine contemporary feminist ideas and their application to emerging arts practice.

Over ten months the artists and writers built a discourse that directly feeds into the outcomes of this project which include an exhibition and publication. Over this time new relationships were forged, opinions navigated and, in some cases, collaborations formed.

The View From Here incorporated a range of visual and written works exploring themes of identity, sexuality, gender politics, representation, post feminism, and femininity. The works are indicative of emerging perspectives on feminism – views that are non-prescriptive, and that reference the past whist carving out a future. The result is a cacophony of voices that represents the myriad of feminisms being negotiated in our time.
