About
There Are No Honest Poems About Dead Women is an installation by Jemma Desai, an artist in residence at Somerset House Studios, presented in space G31. At its heart is a film that assembles archival footage, text, song and new 16mm material drawn from the work of poets, writers, musicians and artists. These extracts form a collage of image and sound bringing together real and imagined scenes of feminist coalition and inheritance. The work invites visitors to consider what commitments they might make when forming relationships across the intimate and the political, and how such relationships might be rehearsed, reimagined and received anew.
