EPISODE 43 of ‘All About Art’: Discussing 'Misogynageism' with Artist Fion Gunn

In this episode, I speak to artist Fion Gunn. She centers her practice around the desire to understand and analyze the extremity of human experience. She states that she is fascinated by the fundamental question: What does the experience of living mean for us both as individuals and as a global society?

We chat about Fion’s artistic practice and how she uses a variety of mediums including painting but also sculpture, augmented reality, and film. We then go on to discuss an incredibly prevalent issue within the arts: misogynageism. This term is one that was further explored in an interview with Fion in Artplugged written by art historian Verity Babbs. Tune in to hear us discuss it, and you can also read the full article here: https://artplugged.co.uk/young-gunn-fion-gunn-and-arts-misogynageism-problem/
