About the event

Gu'un the fish n'that
Gu'un the fish n'that, inspired by the cultural heritage of the women who worked as migrant workers in the herring industry, is an evocative sound installation by East Anglian based artist Beverley Carruthers.

Inspired by the story of her own Grandmother Barbara Aliston, Beverley compiled in depth interviews with the last generation of Fesh Quines exploring their stories through the labour and living conditions they endured alongside their enriching living history and cultural legacy of knitting and singing. Beverley has expertly woven these elements into this engaging and fascinating sound installation.

Beverley's work resists the romanticised version of the herring girls history, which has often been marginalised anyway, instead celebrating the women's migrant labour and their importance to the fishing industry.

On from 3rd April to 6th June.
