[POSTPONED] Photography Social – Raging!

This event has now been postponed

June’s Photography Social welcomes Grace Wilkinson and Sarah Oglesby. 19th June 6-8pm at Aunty Social, Topping Street.

Release your emotion this June and discover what makes you rage, and what you are grateful for.Raging! is a photography project that sticks two fingers up to women+ and gender minorities being seen and not heard. This vibrant, punchy and ironic commentary on societal expectation establishes a space where women+ can be loud, outrageous and angry about the things that affect us on a daily basis. Women+ like they’ve never been seen before, or maybe they have but they were just ‘hormonal’.Why? When’s the last time you got angry and let the world hear it? We have been expected to take the crap, grin and bear it for too long. We are frustrated, and that’s ok. Raging! explores real 21st century experiences of femininity; here, anger is welcome in every form. Like messiness and perfectionism spent a steamy night together in a well lit studio.

Grace and Sarah say ‘The development of our first project has allowed us to build a community where difference is embraced and emotion is power. Join us for a talk and connect with our creative community. Think creative process, unfiltered Q&As, and audience-led discussion that doesn’t shy away from the messy stuff.’
