Open 1pm - 4pm on Saturday 12 November

What’s in a name? An exploration of women’s names and female identity with the Field Theatre Group.

Why was an educated intellectual woman called a ‘Bluestocking’? (Especially when the original Bluestocking was in fact a man!)

What is the difference between a Doxie and a Popsie (or a Strumpet and a Shrew?) And why are so many of these names quite frankly insulting!

An exhibition of work created at a series of informative workshops to explore the history and cultural impact of the many and various names given to women throughout history. Examining our personal responses to them by creating art works that illustrate and reveal the many layers of meaning these names have acquired over time.

This shared work will be celebrated in a touring exhibition which will launch at the Haddenham Art Centre in November at Haddenham Arts Centre
