Drawing upon their shared approach to composition and collage, Rachel Cattle and Bredbeddle (aka Rebecca Lee) will summon up figures, fragments and voices from the text, allowing them to erupt once again into the present.
UH HUH HER follows an unnamed, female narrator as she travels through school, then art school, then art school teaching jobs, finding or fashioning “the selves of herself” via encounters with PJ Harvey, the ghosts of Ann Quin, Susan Sontag, and a mansplaining Analyst that she first encounters in her grandparents’ garden. Both a love letter to creative life, and a requiem for all that is lost in its pursuit, UH HUH HER asks is it possible to record— and retain—our experiences of being on the outside? Or can such stories only exist within the institutions that shape them?
