Description/Abstract: | Artist Joy Gregory introduces a new body of work that looks at the wearing of the veil in Saudi Arabia. Joy Gregory's photographic practice addresses anthropological themes arising from her ongoing research interest in visual forms of documenting cultural differences in contemporary society. Previous work includes the video piece Gomera which engaged with the relationship between language and the environment with particular emphasis on issues around language endangerment. Another ongoing project, Sites of Africa is a photographic document of absent histories, tracing London's connections with the African continent today. The Clothes, Cloth & Culture Group is a monthly forum for creative practitioners and thinkers across the spectrum of artists, designers, curators, writers and activists working with cloth. Setting cloth into the wider contexts of material and visual culture, the Clothes, Cloth & Culture Group provides a space for conversations about the politics of cloth from a distinctively cross-cultural viewpoint. The conversations generated by the Clothes, Cloth & Culture Group will be primarily disseminated through the Iniva website via links to a podcast. The monthly meetings will culminate in a symposium to be held in 2015. |
