In Involvo (2024) @JoanneRCoates disrupts the aestheticisation of working-class women in archives. She reenacts the Herring Girls' practice of bandaging their hands to soothe the cuts caused by handling cutag knives at high speed. 📍Visit Red Herring Open daily 10-5, free
@JoanneRCoates "Triangulation" (2025) captures these themes overlaying images referring to the imperial networks of extraction to evoke the scale of the fishing industry tied to the West Indies. Yet the bandaged hand foregrounds the physical realities of the gutting labour.
Many local families trace their lineage to the #GuttingGirls who passed through #Helmsdale, making the #exhibition Red Herring by @JoanneRCoates both a reflection on global histories and an account of lived local experiences. 📍Red Herring open everyday 10-5 Free entry
Red Herring, a new @JoanneRCoates exhibition at @Timespan, explores overlooked histories of women’s labour through the legacy of the Herring Girls — an itinerant all-female workforce central to the fishing industry in the 18th-20th centuries caughtbytheriver.net/2025/04/red-he…
Exciting to see Red Herring featured on @BBCWomansHour The exhibition is open everyday 10-5 as always free!
