Artist in residence: Alice Gale-Feeny

Oct - Nov 2025

Supported by The Grand Camp Maisie Fund

​

Open Studio 20 & 21 November 2026

​

During Alice Gale-Feeny’s residency at Newington Green Meeting House she will be developing her performance Gen S28: Press Up / Fold In, building on research over the past two years and coinciding with her exhibition at the Women’s Art Library, Goldsmiths.

The project explores the Section 28 laws in effect from 1988-2003 which ‘prohibited the promotion of homosexuality’, and artworks made around this time which might relate to these laws.

Continuing her reflections on what it means to grow up under a law without knowing it (having been born in 1989), Alice will be meeting people of different generations impacted by Section 28 and delving into and further crafting the form of this performance work in the Mary Wollstonecraft room at the Meeting House.

*The Grand Camp Maisie Fund was created by the will of the late LGBTQIA+ leading gay rights campaigner activist and journalist Andrew Lumsden. New Unity at Newington Green Meeting House is grateful to be awarded support for this residency and for other projects curated by independent producer Nikki Tomlinson and New Unity’s General Manager Nick Toner.
