Bonita Ely: Dogwoman Makes History

16 Apr–15 May 1988

ACCA, Dallas Brooks Drive, The Domain

Dogwoman Makes History explored our anthropomorphised fascination with another species alongside the gendered construction of history. Using images of dogs depicted in the artefacts of Berlin museums (documented whilst on residency at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin during the 80s) Ely’s installation addressed concepts of sexuality, servitude and abuse.
