The ladies over at Over It & Co recently sat down with Zainabe Jama from i-D online, to talk about their book launch and recent exhibition at the Orange Dot Gallery
Give us a bit of history… Suzannah: The original idea for Over It & Co came about in the summer of 2007, while I was living in New York City after graduating from university. But it wasn’t until I met Charlotte that it took on its current identity and focus. Our first working project together was my debut solo show at WAH Nails in Dalston, and we haven’t looked back since! Check out the full interview over on i-D online (here)
Opening times: March 15th - 30th
Location:
54 Tavistock Place, Bloomsbury, WC1H 9RG London

For those who didn't know yesterday we celebrated International Women's Day, celebrated in over 80 countries its a unique opportunity for expression and dialogue about the social, cultural, economic and political issues that concern women today. Words of wisdom is the second annual Woman's Day exhibition W project, curated by the two extraordinaire women Loren Platt and Theo Connor.
I must say, yesterday night the fine ladies were all out in full force the woman to man ratio was like 8:1 something I wasn't complaining about.
Exhibition over view. Participants have been asked to express their wise words on a postcard in the medium of their choice – anything from screenprinting and collage to pencil and biro. This collection of mini-artworks will then be displayed side-by-side to form a wall of knowledge, and give visitors to the show a unique snapshot of female creative insight in 2012. We hope that by completing their words of wisdom, contributors may inspire others and add something special to discussions about women in society, their working roles, lives and opportunities. In total there was contribution from 85 females artists. All contributing a designed post card in various different art mediums, peep the flicks below.
Until next year folks. Big shout out to all the females involved and too the two main ladies of the night Loren and Teo for putting on a fantastic show.
The exhibition continues on until Sunday the 12th of March over at the > > > KK OUTLET
Keep a look out for the various other W Project initiatives, to be taking place throughout the year which will include work shops for secondary school girls, special dinners and inspirational talks by some of the most revered women in the creative industry.
