BECCA WHITEING

Research, collaboration and communication motivate Becca Whiteing’s practice. She works at the intersection of printed matter, spatial design and archival-research which is initiated through a passion for revealing untold narratives. Working collaboratively is core to her practice with the aim of sharing for discovery. 


Enjoy :-)

Terrapolis
  •      A researched-led collection of chap books; concerning ecofeminism which is underpinned by The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, Le Guin. These books looks to new methods of feminist storytelling. This research-led project was once all stored in a digital space, and the process of trans-mediation materialised this content in the form of the book.

  •       Printed with: Duplikat, Margate, U.K


The F* Word – Feminist Graphic Design 
and Guerrilla Girls
  •      Visual identity for the exhibition The F* Word, for the Guerrilla Girls and other feminist graphic design practices. The branding works with the symbol of the gorilla mask to look direct and self-confident, whilst also spreading the topic more broadly. The work was shown at MK&G in Hamburg for a 5-month period. Supplementary to this was a type specimen of 15 female type designers  used in the exhibition. 


Xanadu
  •      Xanadu expands on the dichotomy between sharing 
  •      in the digital and physical space. It fosters a relationship between Ted Nelson’s hypertext information system used on the World Wide Web and its inspiration from the rhizomatic, natural underworld.

  •       In collaboration with Oscar Allen & Paddy Barwood

Shad Thames
  •      London Metropolitan Archive is the local government archive repository that worked in collaboration with us to develop a visual identity for Shad Thames, Bermondsey. Spanning the physical, digital, spatial and moving touchpoints, the street is invigorated through an archival exploration into its history before the occurrence of gentrification.

  •       In collaboration with Blake Boller-Smith,
  •       Georgie Dyer, Loren Tsang & Maddy Whithouse


Circa
  •      Publishing my dissertation through the development of an event space and reading group. An exploration into the role and marginalised existence of women’s presence within the typographic design canon. Happening #00 took place at Penrhyn Archive centre and acted as the pre-run to Happening #01 that took place at Peckham’s Feminist Library in May, 2024. This event activates my dissertation through a reading, installation and exploration into the politics of citation and archives.
