SUMMARY:Gender\, Identity and Art: Breaking the Archetypal Mould (LAUNCH EVENT)
DESCRIPTION:Collective Encounters is delighted to launch a brand new exhibition created by Women in Action*. This exhibition explores the changing representations of gender\, sexuality and women.  \nThe artworks interrogate identity through archetypes such as the fool\, the sage\, the caregiver\, the outlaw\, the ruler\, and more. These archetypes form symbols which represent human behaviour and personality in order to help us understand ourselves and what influences us. From a social justice perspective\, a critical understanding of archetypes means moving from the personal to the collective. Often influenced by patriarchal and heteronormative ideas and the goals of capitalism\, challenging these stereotypes helps to reveal the structure of society in order to break free\, change the rules and celebrate who we are. \nWomen in Action have been working at a grassroots level to use and dismantle these figures in order to address themes of health\, wellbeing\, women’s working conditions\, LGBT+ identity and their intersections with class struggle. \n_ _ _ \nExhibition launch – Tuesday 13th May\, 5.30pm – 7.30pm \nCome along to meet the artists and chat about their work \nExhibition opens Wednesday 7th May\, closing date TBC. \n_ _ _ \nThis exhibition is part of wider activity for Collective Encounters’ Radical Retrospectives programme\, celebrating and archiving 21 years of the organisations’ work across the Liverpool City Region. \n*Trans women are and will always be welcome in our women’s groups. The same goes for non-binary\, gender fluid and gender queer people who feel included by the term women.

SUMMARY:Voices on the Streets
DESCRIPTION:A sound journey through Liverpool City Centre that you can download to your phone via the Echoes App to explore the city. \nThis installation is a collection of 9 original pieces of work created by local community groups who took part in workshops with Collective Encounters to devise creative responses to material from research from University of Liverpool’s English Department. \nEach of the pieces is virtually installed at 9 separate locations along a route which covers areas of L1\, L7 and L8. The audio pieces can be accessed via the Echoes App. The full route takes 1 and a half to 2 hours to travel on foot or via wheelchair. There are slight variations to the route for people on foot and people in wheelchairs or with buggies. The map includes a checklist so that you can keep a note of which parts of the installation you have visited if you choose to do it in parts over time. \nTake the Journey
