Hard Work, Soft Work is an iteration of this long-term research looking into unpacking the potential of feminist collective working methodologies through the lens of technical craft-based pedagogy and production-based labour within the art, design and architecture.

Hard Work, Soft Work is an iteration of this long-term research looking into unpacking the potential of feminist collective working methodologies through the lens of technical craft-based pedagogy and production-based labour within the art, design and architecture. ‘What do you do, and what do you do?’ will navigate the role of food, service and the arts being tools for conversational togetherness, which are now equally as precarious and under threat in the current time. Within the present climate, jobs which seemed less precarious and often financial supported artists, specifically within horeca, have become as unreliable as working as an artist itself.

he Guild has been around for a while, focusing its efforts on construction work. Members of this association (so called journeywomen) are dedicated to numerous manual technologies, but also to literary and performative arts which allow them to emancipate the hidden knowledges dwelling in the craft domains. The Guild’s Headquarters accommodates several branches, organizing the association’s activities into specialized divisions: Education Department, Shipping Department, Writing Department, Public Relations Department et al. These days, the Headquarters opens its doors to the public, revealing the journeywomen’s inclusive and highly playful working process. For “The Headquarters”, the space of PuntWG has been turned into a performative bureau of an imaginary guild of builders and makers. This speculative presentation alludes to The Building Institute (TBI), an actual project initiated by artist and woodworker Olga Micińska. TBI is an experimental and non-formal organization engaging with diverse questions surrounding the subjects of labour and technology, and aiming to strengthen the position of women in the field of technical construction work. Taking it from a very grounded point of view, Olga invited a group of artists and makers to plot a fictional narrative around the idea of a feminist organization which reconsiders the business-as-usual of the working conditions in the building domain and related technologies. The show combines multiple strengths and competences of the contributors: woodwork, metalwork, weaving, sewing, writing, publishing, imagining , knowledge-sharing and performing. SC in SB is based on methods from alternative education and critical pedagogy, which aims to provide participants with an accessible way of building space collectively. Building and making is often seen as a field for craftsmen - a world traditionally dominated by men. ‘SC in SB’ deconstructs the jargon in building and construction, which creates uncaring environments of elitist inaccessibility. The methodology aims to break through the assumptions surrounding "ability" and build an understanding of personal ability and so-called agency. The project departs from the premises that by taking care of the built environment, the space will, in return, take care of its community.

‘Self-Care in Self-Build’ is a feminist building methodology that creates space for collaborations and new, unknown and experimental results. The blueprint for adaptive, open-source furniture, offers spaces to learn, listen, develop new relationships, and apply shared ownership to the space that is created. he Guild has been around for a while, focusing its efforts on construction work.

Under the name ‘General Waste’, this Initiative, founded by myself and based internationally focuses on access and knowledge of tools through making. Specifically addressing the lack of people identifying as female, non-binary and gender-queer feeling comfortable and safe to work with a building environment, General Waste holds workshops encouraging an understandable and accessible language in making and constructing. -Womens Welding Workshop

You’re Never Done is a group exhibition featuring works by local and international artists that explores the invisible narratives of labour within our cities. Originally, the exhibition was inspired by Glasgow’s public washhouses (known as ‘Steamies’) and the wages for housework movement. It was intended to take the form of a collaborative space created to address the gendered division of labour and visibility within working-class communities. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the sudden shift in the working practices of many people has provided an important opportunity to recognise that the world’s economies and the maintenance of our daily lives are built on the invisible and often unpaid labour of women. The show is a gesture towards reclaiming spaces, reimagining the labour of women, and politicising the lack of art resources within communities in Glasgow North. Commissioned, supported and presented by West.

Self-Care in Self-Build is the starting point for discussions and conversations. It is open for everyone, all levels of DIY experience, including no experience. During the workshop you are invited to collectively build modular furniture from a blueprint for open source furniture that the artist specifically designed for the public space of HMK. The workshop facilitates conversation, value and ownership over the objects created. During Self-care in self-build we would like to create a safe learning environment for anyone who would like to be involved. Images Curtesy of HMK
