Preview – Jill Bryson Exhibition

“Identity, it’s a crisis can’t you see?”

Artist Jill Bryson, in conjunction with Creative Scotland, presents a performative exploration of gender identity. Filmed at the Burgh Hall with pupils from Dunoon Grammar School, the performance looks at the importance of gender in identity. 

The filmed performance will be supplemented with music and related mixed media images including paintings, photography and collage. The aim is to stimulate conversation about what female identity means to each of us and involve the audience in a stimulating multimedia experience.

Jill Bryson is an artist who works in a range of media including film, photography, paint, collage and music. She was also part of the indie/pop duo Strawberry Switchblade whom she formed whilst studying at Glasgow School of Art and who signed to Warner’s music. The band had a strong visual aspect, influenced by her art, which is still copied today.
