Holly Davey's artist commission, A Script For An Archive: Women, launches on 31 January 2022, online via Zoom. The event is organised by Duncan of Jordanstone, College of Art and Design. Book via Eventbrite.

‘A Script for an Archive …’ is a recent body of work exploring – often marginalised - female voices within archival spaces. For this commission Davey produced a multi-component piece consisting of a script, a performance and a series of digital collages from her research of women artists’ works in the REWIND Artists Video Archive.

Further information see the Curating Living Archives website.

This symposium will offer historical perspectives alongside contemporary views through the celebration of the work of those who have identified as women artists who studied at the Slade. Wednesday, 9 February, 2-5pm via Zoom. Reserve via Eventbrite. See the Slade Women 150 page.
