Artist interviews were held through image based question and answers published online at http://feministsouth.com/
The project culminated in artist Amy Sou Wu presenting a solo presentation at Artspace Thunderclap in 2019 and a series of talks and presentations about the project and her work. Part-shop, part-sewing workshop and part-exhibition, Amy Suo Wu’s Thunderclap premiered in Australia over the course of two weeks in Artspace’s Ideas Platform. Thunderclap employs steganography to publicly redistribute the erased work of Chinese anarcho-feminist He-Yin Zhen (1886–1920) through the medium of clothing accessories.
