✨Last night was the Private View for the 8 commissioned projects for Artists First: Contemporary Perspectives on Portraiture at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Very excited for the public to engage with all the works over the weekend.
With support from the CHANEL Culture Fund, nine contemporary artists have created new works in dialogue with the National Portrait Gallery’s Collection. These specially produced site-specific works, including installation, textile, painting, photomontage, drawing and film, will be displayed throughout the building to reclaim untold narratives and connect past and present histories.
Drop in to take part in a variety of free activities throughout the opening weekend, including a curator-led tour, pop-up artist talks and a silhouette booth run by artist Mary Evans.
With Flavia Frigeri, the National Portrait Gallery’s Curatorial and Collections Director, and artists Helen Cammock, Giana De Dier, Mary Evans, Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley, Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, Ravelle Pillay, Soheila Sokhanvari and Charmaine Watkiss.

Got my copy! Thank you @firecracker_foto@vamparasolwomenphoto ✨
I’m very excited to have work included in this important publication, “Cut Out: A Feminist History of Photo Collage, Montage and Assemblage”, by Fiona Rogers and co-published by the V&A and Thames & Hudson.
“Female artists have long employed collage to reflect the ways in which identity is often constructed from conflicting, contrasting and contradictory parts. Cut Out explores the relationship between photography and feminist collage, foregrounding the use of femmage - a radical reclaiming of craft traditionally associated with women - as a resilient method within feminist and political art.
Cut Out presents an expanded definition of collage and cutting techniques to encompass photomontage, assemblage and the photogram. Tracing a lineage from nineteenth-century makers to contemporary practitioners, we encounter Victorian album makers;
Modernist, Surrealist and Dadaist innovators; and radical, second-wave feminist artists. Thematic sections include profiles written by expert contributors on key individuals, including Hannah Höch, Dora Maar and Lorna Simpson. Looking to the future as much as the past, Cut Out also reveals how the pioneering work of contemporary and digital artists continues to subvert dominant narratives and foster ever-expanding forms of photographic collage.
At a moment when photography and its history are being actively contested and reappraised, Cut Out is a reminder of its political power.”
