Hello,

Blank Media Collective are pleased to announce a major new exhibition, 
publication and events programme: equals: exploring feminism through art 
& conversation - featuring nine emerging artists including Sarah Maple 
and James Bond star Margaret Nolan.

WHAT: equals: an exhibition, publication, radio show & live events 
programme
WHEN: 11th - 28th July 2013
WHERE: BLANKSPACE, 43 Hulme St, M15 6AW & locations around Manchester
FEATURING: Sarah Maple, Margaret Nolan, Lucy-Anne Holmes (No More Page 
3) & many others

equals is not just about women, it is about everybody. Through the 
artwork in the exhibition, to the work developed for the publication and 
the conversations yet to be had, equals hopes to challenge 
preconceptions, reinvigorate the word feminism and take a step closer to 
achieving a better model of gender equality today.

The project launches at BLANKSPACE (43, Hulme Street, Manchester M15 
6AW) with a public preview on Thursday 11th July 2013 at 6pm and runs 
until Sunday 28th July.

equals is an exploration of the structures and systems that thread 
through our culture and language with regards to gender and feminism. 
Curators Nathalie Boobis and Anne Louise Kershaw present work that 
examines and questions these constructs that are imposed upon both 
genders; from representations of masculinity and femininity to the 
restrictions of language in speaking for the female experience. The 
project is an attempt to consider afresh where and how feminism could 
shape society.

The exhibition features nine emerging artists including Sarah Maple, 
best known for her strikingly subversive self-portraits,(“…the heir to 
Tracey Emin’s throne... The best of the new young British artists” - 
Andrew Johnson, The Independent on Sunday) and Goldfinger star Margaret 
Nolan, now a collage artist using photographic representations of her 
younger self to comment on the objectification of women.

The full press release is attached.
