CUNT
By Laundry Arts, curated by Georgina Johnson
CUNT was the second exhibition by The Laundry, an arts programme for BAME and womxn creatives. It was held at the KK Outlet in October 2017. The exhibition was on the word cunt - as exhibiting artists we explored the word through it’s histories, meaning, context, and personal relationship.
Artists on show: Georgia Johnson, Artist Ahaad Almoudi - Saudi Arabia, Photographer Dafy Hagai - Tel Aviv. Bio-hacking designer Giulia Tomasello - Italy, Painter Jameson - UK and myself - Artist Sophie Rawlingson - UK.
I thought about the universe and how that came to be. I imagined a womxn giving birth to the universe and all that’s inside. Would she let this happen? Would she accept contraception for what is is now, or challenge it and ask it to be better?
When using and dealing with something meant to empower you, but can often missing the mark, I like to in my imagination refer to a higher power for strength.
Alongside the exhibition was a zine making workshop. I hosted this with Elisa Magalhaes of Fly Trap Zine.
