| 3 and 4. Finding Your Voice – Mamo’s Story & Siobhan’s Story |
Mamo had to leave work when she got married in the 70s but subsequently became involved in the ICA and further political work. Siobhan’s is the story of an ex-prisoner and her life after she left prison. Both stories are presented in the women’s own words in two small, intimate spaces as audio installations with lighting design that responds as the stories unfold.

PowerHouse. The research participants’ evaluations of
how their attitudes to power changed over the course of the
project are also presented over speakers in the PowerHouse.
