OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

HARD LOVE: masking, social class, feminism and exhibition making.
Artist Hannah Perry weaves a tapestry of influences, tapping into personal narratives, collective testimonies, and cultural touchstones to explore the swift pace of our hyper-technological era. Her works include expansive sculptures, painting and immersive audio-visual installations that seamlessly blend sound, technology, dance, spoken word, printmaking, and 360-video. With a spectrum of themes, Perry highlights feminist socio-political issues embedded in coded industrial materials, exploring the dynamics of taste, social class and personal histories. She also examines the nuanced realms of motherhood and erotic discourse and mental health. Moving beyond the personal, to explore the broader cultural context.
Hannah Perry (b.1984, North West England, UK) lives and works in London. She graduated from Goldsmiths College in 2009 and then Royal Academy of Arts 2014. Recent exhibitions include: solo show’ Baltic Gallery in Newcastle 2024, Julia Stoschek Foundation dusseldorf 2024, NTNT, chester contemporary, Duo show at Galerie Kandlhofer 2023 ‘Liquid Language’ Arsenal Toronto, ‘A Smashed Window and an Empty Room’ at the Kunstverein Hamburg, ‘Gush’, Somerset House, London and ‘Rage Fluids’, Kuenstlerhaus, Graz, Austria as well as an exhibition of Artist-in-Residence programme of the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art, Russia.
