Wimmins’ Dance [Feminism]

1981. Colour screenprint, 75.7 x 51cm. Minor tears to edges.

Text includes “Benefit for Girls’ Own, the new Sydney feminist newspaper. Disco, [Wimmins’] Warehouse, Bay 9, no. 9, Ultimo Rd, Haymarket. Fri., Feb. 13th. 9pm.” Held in SLNSW, noting this poster was designed by the Wimmins’ Warehouse Screen-printers who “created posters showing women as mothers, workers, writers and friends.”

“The warehouse was run as a women’s collective from 1979 to 1981 in a five-storey warehouse in Sydney’s Haymarket area. An unofficial headquarters for the social and cultural activity of the Women’s Liberation Movement, the warehouse applied the values of feminism, equality and collectivism to all creative output which extended throughout the ensuing decades into a broad range of women’s activities. This was especially true of the Wimmins’ Warehouse Screen-printers and Girls’ Own, newspaper collectives, which produced artworks and published articles without creators’ names.”
