In my last assessment I shown my missing women video which I have now shown publicly in Bold Street. I played my video in News from Nowhere bookshop with whom I'd been emailing for around a month. Earlier this month I got an email confirming when I could go down and play it.
I could have shown it last month but there was a Christmas display in the window and didn't think my video would fit into that kind of environment. The people who work there were very interested in what I was doing and were more than happy to accommodate me as they are part of the women's collective. As this was the first time I had shown my work publicly I wanted to get as much feedback as possible, so I stood around the shop and spoke to anyone who watched it. Many people said the video was moving and was shocked to hear some of the statistics involved. This public showing of my work has given me more confidence and taught me a little how artists negotiate.
