Overview

Join artists Jade Sweeting and Jenni Mac as they present ‘representation’ itself in a performance and exhibition about their durational project Hip Reading.

Taking on clichés, categories, signals, whims, the old and the new, Sweeting and Mac toy with the stereotypes and trends in queer culture through the specific lens of the female gaze.
