Curator's Pick with Al Johnson: 'Land of Laundries'
Image
Free, all welcome. Booking recommended.
Join sculptor Al Johnson as she discusses the inspiration for and making of ‘Land of Laundries’, which will be on display in Bruce Castle Museum’s Compton Gallery for Women’s History Month.
Al Johnson will talk you through the reminiscence workshops with older women at the Museum of the Home in London, and at Maerdy Women's Guild in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales, that helped inform her work. The cleanliness of laundry was once seen as evidence of proficiency as a wife and mother for working-class women. ‘Land of Laundries’ suggests that, despite over a century of feminism, washing continues to be women’s work.
Please book your free ticket for this in-person talk via Eventbrite.
