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 National Lottery Community Fund and The European Social 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.

Rooms within Rooms
We taped out a bird’s eye view of the
gallery walls and doors on the floor of the
gallery, that showed how Allison Katz had
redesigned the space.
We had a cardboard box to create our
own space within a space. We made walls,
windows and doors, which we covered
with coloured and patterned papers. Some
people added extra features with paint or
by making curtains or furniture. They all
turned out really well.

“It’s amazing how we start doing the
same thing but we all come out with
something different on the same
theme. It’s always personal on some
level, as you can express what you are
going through in what you make.”
