Flying Fox Woman

WOMEN’S

SAFETY PROJECT

What to Expect

Flying Fox Woman is a groundbreaking participatory art project transforming women's safety experiences into powerful artistic actions, culminating in a major Logan Art Gallery exhibition. Drawing from Bec Mac’s Churchill Fellowship research into global safety initiatives, this experimental project challenges conventional urban safety approaches by prioritising belonging and place.

Through structured workshops, participants engage in night-time safety mapping, create mythological feminist guardian masks, and participate in professional photographic portraits. The project culminates in nocturnal projections onto previously identified unsafe spaces and a comprehensive exhibition at Logan Art Gallery.

Drawing on traditions of feminist public art activism from artists like Judy Chicago, Ana Mendita and Suzanne Lacy, Flying Fox Woman hope to demonstrate that true safety emerges not from surveillance and barriers, but from communities where everyone feels they genuinely belong.
