Little Frances and Her Carp Event with Naomi Pearce

Little Frances and Her Carp, is an audio guide by Naomi Pearce written in response to Katherine’s invitation to create a workshop as part of her exhibition. Delivered live across the gallery spaces over the course of one day, this oral intervention asks to what extent a feminist event has to be discursive?

Testing the limits of monologue, Naomi reflects on the audio guide as institutional convention, re-purposing its paternalistic form to foster more intimate, subjective questioning.

This experiment takes inspiration from Katherine’s previous work considering the practice of listening and the conditions in which we listen.

Each performance will be approximately twenty minutes long and will take place in the gallery.
