You're Not Gonna Give Yourself Gonorrhoea or a Solo Show
Performed at SECRET REASONS: A conference about self care in an unequal art world, organised by Sophie Chapman, Kerri Jefferis and Rosalie Schweiker

A performance in response to this invitation:
All around us, we see amazing people, working their arse off on a small-scale, making big changes. We wonder how we keep going, how do we all manage to keep laughing, struggling, hustling and juggling?
We want to organise a conference that gives space to our doubts, questions and tiredness.
A conference, that values and gives resources to those people who are not “cosetted by some non-existant-caring-lucrative-other.”*
*”It has been depressing not to have been immortalised in the coffee table book or the radical journal. It has forced some of us into being publishers when we would rather be looked after and cossetted by some non-existant-caring-lucrative-other.” Lubaina Himid: Mapping, a decade of black women artists 1980 - 1990.
It's about making art. It's about masturbation.
Thanks to Rosalie Schweiker for the discrete videoing.
