——
“Susie Campbell’s The Frock Enquiry uses the Enquiry into Women’s Work by The Women’s Industrial Council 1900-15 as its backbone. It imagines how these working women might have constructed voices for themselves out of the language of their work – taking it apart and reassembling it to forge a new and ‘unnatural’ rhetoric of interrogation, myth and protest.
JT Welsch’s The Ruin is set in the ruins of Tunisia and jumps between Carthage, old Star Wars sets, empty hotels, and the footsteps of other visiting artists and writers, exploring and raising difficult questions on the role of tourism and cultural appropriation in the wake of the 2011 revolution.”
