As part of our research projects "Feminist Media in Europe" and "Young Women as Creators of New Cultural Spaces" we have created two online questionnaires.

Take a good look in the Flyer: it's a Call for Submissions to a zine that wants to compile and organize DIY, Punk, Queer, Transgender movement and they need material. I guess I'll send something cause it's great to help to do a zine like that.

Artist Cordelia Donohoe has work currently showing as part of a V Day photography exhibition 5th – 20th March 2010 at the New Players Theatre, Villiers Street. London.

Submitted by Cordelia on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 21:43

Topic:

Art

Gender studies

Girls and young women

Sex and sexualities

Teaser Image:

Tell me about the work you have been doing.
My recent bodies of work are around the notion of the prostitute, they are part of a dialogue about what creating a sexualized identity and advertising on the internet might mean. I take apart the process of taking photographs, I also use text and collage to question what one is seeing and who is being addressed. It is also a personal journey about my own relationship to my womanliness.

How did you get into doing this?
