Re-collections at Site Gallery brings together the work of three phenomenal artists from Site’s archive – Susan Hiller, Elizabeth Price and Georgina Starr – honouring a tradition of supporting and championing women for the past 40 years. Curated by Angelica Sule, the exhibition explores how histories are remembered, recorded and retold. Moving between personal narratives, institutional records and oral histories, it touches on the myriad ways in which we collect and present our experiences.
