Chloe Brown’s 2019 film ‘A Soft Rebellion in Paradise’ is now being exhibited at Sheffield’s Millennium Galleries. This is the first showing in an exhibition of the film, which was made with an all-female production team, cast and crew and had its world premiere at DocFest in 2019. The exhibition is open until 12th March 2023.<\/span><\/div>\n

In 1851, the Sheffield Women\u2019s Political Association was the first British organisation to call for the vote for women. Almost 170 years later, Chlo\u00eb Brown\u2019s\u00a0A Soft Rebellion in Paradise (<\/em>2019) reimagines contemporary political activism and reawakens this forgotten aspect of the city\u2019s history.<\/h4>\n

This powerful film continues the artist\u2019s body of work comprising subtly subversive acts challenging the historical gender and class-based power dynamics of spaces. 200 women gather in Paradise Square, in Sheffield, a site that has been often used for protests and today is the centre of the city\u2019s law quarter. They come together to perform a series of Soft Rebellions, including clapping, being silent and chanting the words of a specially commissioned poem by Geraldine Monk, with sound design and score by musician DIE HEXEN.<\/span><\/p>\n
