I’m Trying to Find the Others: Section 28 and All My Workings Out 
Alice Gale-Feeny 

29th September - 7th November 2025
Mon-Fri 1-4pm 

I came to the Women’s Art Library looking for material on the Section 28 laws, and artworks made around the time of my birth (1989) that may have a relationship to these laws. (See boxes: ‘Women Cartoonists’, ‘Lesbian Artists’ amongst others. Ask for the artist file for Mumtaz Karimjee, particularly a work made in 1988, and the 1990 Goldsmiths Ba Fine Art degree show catalogue for an entry by Hamad Butt.)

This exhibition contains my workings out, new artworks, and material from the archives that expanded my existing understanding. It presents the ‘inside’ of a performance practice; when working solo and in dialogue. Drawings, diagrams, sculptures and costumes emerge out of, and feed back into performances. As a performer in the work, many aspects of the process meet my experience, highlight what it feels like to process information and to have a lived experience connected to the context of the work.

The performance produced over the period in residence is titled 'Gen S28: Press Up/ Fold In’. The work traverses different registers: homage x show and tell x chant x a very specific art history lecture. Books and artworks are companions; chants are written to ‘find the others’.
