Justine McDonnell has a multidisciplinary practice that coalesces the voice, text, installation, photography and performance. Performing using her own voice, at times manipulated, her practice investigates the way in which the female voice is represented and treated as an archive. Through the interweaving of autobiographical, fictional and historical accounts, McDonnell addresses female histories from a feminist perspective that manifest through voices into multi-layered works. She directly engages with representations and subjectification of the female voice whilst activating it as a site and agent for socio-political change, through vocal and textual compositions. She is interested in how the female voice within performance practice can challenge historical contexts and carry the potential to re-claim a space for silenced voices as a form of resistance and remembrance in a contemporary art practice. In doing so, her aim is to create spaces to expose and elude systems of representation and power.
