Year of the Hen (2017)

[ARCHIVAL POST]

‘Year of the Hen’ is a mini solo show by Eldi Dundee in Small House Gallery, displayed within a much larger group show context comprising works by more than 100 visual and performing artists. The theme is in honour of the Chinese New Year 2017 which is the year of the Fire Rooster (or Cock). It’s also the year of the Women’s March which protested Trump’s inauguration on a massive, global scale, and so it might also be known as the Year of the Hen.
