Space for Imagination: A Loudspeaker project Spring/Summer 2021
The Loudspeaker programme is delivered by Nottingham Contemporary as part of the Opportunity and Change project, which is funded by the European Social Fund and the National Lottery, through the Big Lottery Fund. The programme is offered in ten week projects of which there have been thirteen so far. Women are offered a supportive, caring environment to help see things differently, feel positive about the future and move away from challenging circumstances. Loudspeaker sessions are an opportunity to take a break, develop routines, build confidence, become inspired, and meet new people. This book presents the outcomes of creative explorations made by a group of eight women living in the East Midlands, during Spring and Summer 2021. The women explored two exhibitions at Nottingham Contemporary, Allison Katz: Artery and Erika Verzutti. Together they discussed their responses to the art in the galleries and experimented with a wide range of art materials and methods to make their own interpretations. Through taking part, the women have discussed ideas about the everyday in art, feminism and personal expression.

Comments by Participants
“(The artists’ works are) humorous,
colourful, exciting. It’s interesting that
they pushed the boundaries in their
art.”
“I liked Erika’s abstract shapes,
especially her Venus sculptures,
exploring different body shapes.”
“It’s opened my mind up and I am
more likely to make art myself.”
“Everyone sees things different.”
“The little time I had to do some art
here has given me the idea of doing
more art whenever I can.”
“Erika’s work is very strange and
impressive at the same time.”
“(Allison’s paintings are) true to life
but abstract – a twist.”
“Allison Katz’s paintings are very deep
but very simple – it’s everyday stuff.”
“I feel like art is not limited...”
“Loudspeaker has opened up art for
me again.”
