From Beth Ivy Buxton:

I am a stage one student and I am coordinating a project which aims to look at the Representation of Women in the Media. This is in collaboration with Bristol Fawcett Society and Bristol Feminist Network in the UK. They did this research last year and I was very inspired by the results so negotiated for us in Wgtn to repeat / extend their project as part of an international networking opportunity. Please see http://www.bristolfawcett.org.uk/MediaRepresentation.html for more info.

The first step is to arrange a meeting of interested persons on Weds 22 July, 7pm @ Toi Poneke
Wgtn Arts Centre. The research projects can be as small or large as participants wish and I have several 30min – 1hr suggestions for people who want to get involved but are short of time or not sure what to do.

Results can be presented in what ever way participants feel comfortable – photos, collages, films, artworks, powerpoints, bullet points etc. The idea is that this project is open to all but I am very keen to get as many artists / creative people involved as we can. Down the track it would be
great to put together an exhibition and share our findings with the public so the more interesting we can make it the better!
