Performance

Forbidden Heroines questions the politics of identity in relation to women and institutions of power. Originally devised as a performance with Alanna O’Kelly, this video consists of a re-enactment of Tallentire’s performance later performed for camera, to exist as a stand-alone video performance work. Originally performed at the The London Film Makers Co-op for Channel 6, curated by Tina Keane.
