Feminist Performance Artist Gemma Moore discusses her use of the Feminist Persona to critique women's life experiences in modern society.
About
Gemma Moore uses her visual fine art practice to defy women’s stereotypical positions and roles in society through a humorous perspective. This involves role playing women’s feelings, fears and anxieties which are often inflicted through societal norms, values and expectations of ‘traditional’ women. Female appearances are threatened through Naomi Wolf’s Beauty Myth (1990), male idealised expectations of women and the pressures of social media. Gemma’s work defies gender orientated ‘roles’, often illustrated through sets characterised by domesticity such as submissive housewives and male dominance. Gemma works across a variety of media to explore and communicate these themes.
This event will take place on ZOOM and will include a Q and A with the artist.
