2018 Residency with Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios – Hina Khan

Video by John Beattie

Hina Khan was the inaugural recipient of the Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios Residency for an Artist from an ethnic minority background.

Hina’s work is the constant search for the best way to interpret ideas and express ideologies through symbolism.  Using a mixture of traditional and innovative techniques, Hina’s work portrays social issues, immigration and humanitarian crisis like prostitution, gender discrimination, restrictions, trauma, child abuse and killing. This residency provided Hina space to work with freedom, enhancing her capabilities as an artist and provided an opportunity to develop her collaborative arts practice further, while immersing herself in contemporary Irish art practice.

The Truncheon and the Speculum

Video by Sarah Browne, Jesse Jones

As part of the 2016 Liverpool Biennial, artists Sarah Browne and Jesse Jones presented a live video broadcast from News from Nowhere, a radical community bookshop in Liverpool.

This live broadcast explored historic state violence enacted through gynaecological means. Featuring material culture historian Dr. Lisa Godson and self-identified “cyborg witch” Klau Kinky of Catalan collective Gynepunk, this event identified the Contagious Diseases Acts of the 1860s as a key moment in the legislation of state violence against women in Ireland and the UK.
