To mark International Women's Day why not visit the Millennium Gallery to see A Soft Rebellion in Paradise, a film by Chloë Brown.
To film A Soft Rebellion in Paradise, 200 women gathered in Paradise Square in Sheffield, a site that has been often used for protests and today is the centre of the city’s law quarter.
Here until Sunday 12 March, this powerful film continues the artist’s body of work comprising subtly subversive acts challenging the historical gender and class-based power dynamics of spaces.
They came together to perform a series of Soft Rebellions, including clapping, being silent and chanting the words of a specially commissioned poem by Geraldine Monk, with sound design and score by musician DIE HEXEN.
Join us for a Q&A about the film this Friday, with the artist Chloë Brown, producer Jennifer Monks and executive producer Caroline Cooper Charles as they discuss the making of the film.
