In collaboration with Rosie’s Disobedient Press
2024
I am writing in search of some information was a project developed with Lisette May Monroe as part of our collaborative project Rosie’s Disobedient Press. For EAF24, RDP was invited to reflect on the framework for EAF’s 20th Birthday and on the landscape of the city over the past 20 years.
We worked with archives and organisations local to Edinburgh to examine language and words as a historical act of resistance and apply this to our modern-day circumstances. This culminated in a series of textual interventions that appeared in print, on clothing, across windows, and on banners throughout the city.
The project, developed with designer Mitchell F. Gilles, ran in collaboration with Glasgow International Festival (7 – 23 June 2024) and attempted to reflect on the often-overlooked enclaves of a city during times of cultural spectacle.
A limited number of the wearables are available in the shop. All profits from this project are donated to Edinburgh city-based organisations.
