Common Ground blog @commongroundblog-blog - Tumblr Blog

What makes a particular site 'home'? Is it where our roots begin, or is it fluid and changing, existing as an unfixed place of comfort? Curated by Talia Smith, Issue Five of Common Ground brings together diverse works and words by women artists and writers to determine if home really is where the heart is.

Issue Four

Fraught with the intersecting influences of social circumstance, the themes of womanhood, femininity, and motherhood often present fertile grounds for photographic mediation. Issue 04 of Common Ground draws upon this potential for social comment and self-reflexivity, with eight artist features from Australia and beyond. Issue 02 artist Marisa Georgiou also returns to pen an essay on Mother Tongue by Chrischa Oswald, and Christine McFetridge interviews documentary photographer Raphaela Rosella on her series You didn't take away my future, you gave me a new one. Moving across ideas of gender identity, sexuality, the body, parenting and the ideal feminine, Issue 04 does not aspire to be comprehensive but to contribute to ongoing discussions on the diversity of women's experiences and practices.
