Ladies, All the Ladies
a film; event; exhibition and DVD
by Lady Lucy at Picture This, Bristol.
26 – 29 November 2008
As a visual artist Lucy Woollett has chosen ‘Lady Lucy’ as an alter ego to work under. In urban music circles this use of the word ‘Lady’ is a re-occurring theme and Ladies, All the Ladies is results of Lady Lucy’s self-imposed search to meet other ‘ladies’.
Lady Lucy’s film and events produce an inspiring portrait of women MCs, DJs, producers and performers involved in Urban music; Hip Hop, Drum and Bass, Garage, Reggae, Dance Hall, R and B, House and Grime from Bristol, UK and internationally, all of whom use the prefix ‘Lady’.
Featuring Diss Miss (Dutty Girl, Girl Wonder), Laydee Bird, Lady Free, Lady K & Lady Maximum, Lady Paradox, Lady Raz.
