Rehearsal Space is an interactive installation, consisting of six soft shields, a booklet of drawings, a large mirror and a photograph.
The project explores the relationship between art and feminist activism and how to encourage seepages between the two through the object (shield). In the exhibition space visitors were encouraged to use, touch and move with six soft shields, subverting the idea of a shield as a heavy, masculine object associated with battle, defense and division. The shields are also being used as protest tools in demonstrations.
