Future Feminist Archive

Overview

If you’re looking for an inspiring way to celebrate the International Women’s Day 40th Anniversary, head down to Sydney College of the Arts to see this variety of artistic engagements with official records, neglected artefacts, alternate documents and intergenerational passing on of memories.

The exhibition features a time capsule created 10 years ago by Jane Polkinghorne and Anne Kay, who interviewed 100 Sydney-based artists in 2005 about their understanding of their art practice, a program of pioneering films made by women in the 1970s, a series of mother-daughter interviews and a day of free artist talks to book yourself into. This timely exhibition acts as a fascinating time-capsule of Australian contemporary art and is an important acknowledgement of the women who have contributed.
