Pockets are: a writing and reading gathering with Residency 11:11’s artist in residence Juliane Foronda
During her time in residence artist Juliane Foronda has been visiting local archives, libraries and collections to continue her research on the relationship of textiles and care, through a lens of radical hospitality and the domestic.
To culminate her one months residency with Residency 11:11, Juliane will be hosting a gathering at The Feminist Library on 7 August at 7pm. “Pockets are:” will consist of writing, reading, and sharing texts that focus on current themes in Juliane’s research while in residency, such as feminist hospitality, ways of gathering and the domestic, with a focus on the politics and poetics of pockets.

About Residency 11:11
Residency 11:11 is an artist-run and led residency offering domestic and online residencies alongside a public programme of events and workshops. Initiated by artists Giulia Shah and Alexandra Bell in 2018, the residency runs from their flat in London. Residency 11:11 is a queer women run organisation and we prioritise giving opportunities to queer artists and women artists.Residency 11:11 is focussed on opening up nuanced conversations around the accessibility of art, and its importance as a personal, social and political tool. We support art practitioners by opening up our network, offering time and space to research and building nurturing relationships of support and exchange . By creating transnational connections we are interested in diverse practices that question the role of art and how this can differ across borders, histories and economies. Since 2022, our programme has kindly been supported by Arts Council England. Their ongoing support helps us support artists by offering fees, growing relationships with new and existing collaborators and developing professionally as a valuable arts initiative.
