Frances Burnham (artist) and I (Ceridwen Suiter – composer) have been in constructive conversation since 2008 on contemporary social and economic topics.  We have formalised this into an ongoing collaborative arts-based project both in the physical and the virtual worlds,  to extend the conversation between citizens, arts workers, and business, regarding culture and art practice, economics and social values.

For International Women’s Day 2016, our goal is to stimulate conversation about current Feminist issues as part of our ongoing project.  Our installation “Flagged for Conversation” aims to stimulate conversation on 21st century issues facing women.

The conversation will begin with a performance at the exhibition opening on March 4, 2016.

Putting vision into practice, visitors to the gallery are invited to write a response: a catch phrase, a word, or to draw an icon or visual symbol on prepared and embellished green, white and purple flags, which will then become part of the installation.
