Yes & No: Things Learnt About Feminism

Overview

What is feminism? What thoughts, feelings, statements and positions drive and define it in the modern day? In 2012, contemporary artist Kelly Doley was inspired to expand her understanding. She initiated The Learning Centre: Two Feminists — a project inviting 16 participants from a variety of backgrounds to teach her more.

Three weeks of workshops delivered a wealth of knowledge, and combining her interest with her art, Doley distilled her discoveries into her work. Her learnings were then concentrated into a series of catchphrases and slogans, before being painted on more than 90 posters.

Yes & No: Things Learnt About Feminism is the eclectic result, with a range of words and observations emblazoned on bright backgrounds, shouting their ideas and insights.

Though they're comprised of varying shades, tones, voices, designs and reasoning, together they encapsulate the complexities and contradictions of feminism.
