Womens’ Postal Art EveNT
“At the beginning of 1975 a group of women […] started sending each other small art-works through the Post […] ‘We are trying, I think, to unite apparently disparate aspects— the private, domestic and personal with political and social understanding.“
Phil Goodall, Spare Rib, issue 49, 1976, p. 37

Women artists at work
FENIX arose from Kate Walker, Su Richardson, Monica Ross and Suzy Varty’s experience of working together during Feministo | Postal Art Event. FENIX was an on site piece using collage, performance and installation. An event built progressively in the galleries. Galleries were used as a studio space, open to the public throughout the whole process.
