Personally and Politically

We came to this exhibition from different directions, Phil Goodall as a trained artist and Tricia Davis as an historian and social worker. Phil was one of the first members of the Birmingham Womens Art group which started in January 1975, initially concerned to bring feminist artists and women interested in visual communication together into a working group. As a result of contact with Kate Walker at the Women Artists Conference in June 1975, the group took up the idea of establishing a visual communication network by post. This network, involving women from many parts of the country, became known as Feministo. It was based on developing relationships visually between women and exploring our lives as women, artists, mothers and domestic workers. Tricia, when she moved to Birmingham, initially made contact with the women's movement and became involved. with Feministo and the Women's Art group after seeing the Arts Lab. exhibition in Birmingham
