Protesting the Personal’ brings together new moving and affecting works in print and textile media by Pussy Willow Power Collective. The title reflects the feminist adage ‘the personal is political’ and expresses how for these three artists, personal experience has been foundational to their forms of activism. Pussy Willow Power is a feminist collective composed of the three founding members, Kat Rae, Drey Willows and Chiara Zeta who first met at art school where they studied printmaking together. Working across media including paste ups, screen print, etching and found object sculptural installation, the artists in Pussy Willow Power present deeply reflective artworks which engage with lived / work experience with forms of interpersonal and institutional violence. Through works which narrate diverse lived experiences of patriarchal and gender-based violence, war, social work, and protest, and that all reflect their own personal forms of activism, the collective invites audiences to reflect on women’s strength and empowerment in the face of these systemic issues. Coupled with a program of workshops at Queen Victoria Women’s Centre that extend and invite audiences to ponder their own power through print and collage, the exhibition by this fierce and talented collective activates important community dialogue and manifests personal and political agency through art.
