Passages of Gothic is an atmospheric multi-screen installation celebrating the Gothic Heroine in film. While she is often dismissed as a passive observer, this curated collection of classic film clips shows heroines in gothic films in moments of active investigation and bravery, which often stand directly in opposition to her suffering and persecution. Explore the slippage between women’s private and public behaviours in a setting which reflects, indeed heightens, the complexity of these underrated female protagonists.
