Opis

Unbidden Tongues #7: Continuity Girl unpacks the âforensic feminist methodologyâ developed by writer, curator and administrator Naomi Pearce. Informed by research conducted in various personal archives of women administrators of artist studio spaces in London from the 1970s until now, the components of Pearceâs writing span mortuary field notes, interview transcripts, intimate first-person accounts and an auto-fictive mystery novella. These various evidentiary approaches blend to form an unconventional casebook that puts forward the complicating factors underpinning the process of writing history in the first place. In this particular title, the biographical lens focuses on Shirley Readâa photographer, writer, teacher, administrator and oral historian, whose work has been largely overlooked, until now.
