This project transforms the live moment between artist and participant into 95 hand-painted posters about feminism. Each slogan is translated from lessons the artist received on feminism as part of The Learning Centre: Two Feminists 2012 live performance.

The thoughts, ideas and facts passed on through these conversations are collated to create a hobbled archive of feminist thought, predictions and histories, whilst riffing off the tropes and clichés of the political poster and slogan.
