We are really delighted to welcome Alice Gale-Feeny to Newington Green Meeting House as artist in residence this autumn, supported by the Grand Camp Maisie Fund.*

Alice makes performances that combine movement, writing and comedy. Drawings, diagrams and sculptures emerge out of, and feed back into, these performances. Her practice is also informed by her lived experience, LGBTQIA+ social histories, archives, libraries, queer and feminist writing and new materialist and post-human philosophies.

During her residency at Newington Green Meeting House, Alice will be developing her performance work Gen S28: Press Up / Fold In, building on research over the past two years and coinciding with her current exhibition at the Women’s Art Library, Goldsmiths.

Alice’s project explores the Section 28 laws in effect from 1988-2003 which ‘prohibited the promotion of homosexuality’, and artworks made around this time which might relate to these laws.

Continuing her reflections on what it means to grow up under a law without knowing it (having been born in 1989), Alice will be meeting people of different generations impacted by Section 28 and delving into and further crafting the form of this performance work in the Mary Wollstonecraft room at the Meeting House.

*The Grand Camp Maisie Fund was created by the will of the late LGBTQIA+ leading gay rights campaigner activist and journalist Andrew Lumsden. New Unity at Newington Green Meeting House is grateful to be awarded support for this residency and for other projects curated by independent producer Nikki Tomlinson and New Unity’s General Manager Nick Toner, to be announced in coming weeks.
