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. 200 women gather 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. They come 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.
The film was made by an all-female crew, production team and cast.
A Soft Rebellion in Paradise was produced by:
Jennifer Monks, Pencil Trick Productions
Dana Bruce, Northern Order
Executive Producer:
Caroline Cooper Charles, Universal Spirits
A Soft Rebellion in Paradise was commissioned by Sheffield Culture Consortium’s Making Ways initiative and funded by Arts Council England. The exhibition is supported by the ADMRC at Sheffield Hallam University.
