--
To coincide with the 50th anniversary of punk, The Showroom presents Slits are Girls a new commission by renowned artist, Ângela Ferreira, curated by Andrew Renton. The exhibition originates from a series of photographs of the all-girl punk band The Slits, taken at the very earliest moments of punk. Captured only yards from The Showroom, the images testify to how punk’s formative energies emerged in this part of West London. In turn, Ferreira connects this local history to her own experiences of punk as a teenager in South Africa, through the punk band National Wake.
Ferreira brings together these two narratives, these two versions of punk, as a sculptural installation which ultimately proposes that punk’s legacy has no fixed orthodoxy beyond its immediacy. It was always a ‘democracy’ of accessibility, and can be understood as a site of political upheaval that, fifty years on, continues to offer possibilities of social critique and resistance.
