TextaQueen: Bollywouldn’t
Bollywouldn’t is a catchphrase decolonised; it is an imagining of utopia and reclamation of power. Bollywouldn’t deconstructs all the “-isms” in the Bollywood genre, giving agency back to South Asians, particularly those marginalised within our cultures through sexuality and gender identities. Working predominantly in felt-tip pen—aka ‘texta’—TextaQueen positions Bollywouldn’t as a balm to diasporic displacement.

Homage to Chicks
Sophie Howarth
This exhibition represents over 20 years of imagery from Sophie Howarth’s music photography archive. Homage to Chicks is a series of 126 photographs which create a complete artwork with a single message of reverence for the many women she has documented over the years. To them, Howarth ‘pays homage’ and establishes them at the centre of this story. The series captures key moments, such as Bjork’s theatrical beauty on stage, Channel V presenter, Yumi Stynes—heavily pregnant—backstage at the Big Day Out, and artist Courtney Love as she screams out to her audience.
16 November—27 November
The Commons
Tony Manning

Freedom of movement should not be taken for granted and these artworks celebrate the people and places that mark our emergence into expansive natural and built environments.
