Beryl Swain: Need for speed
‘Beryl Swain: Need for Speed’ (1 June – 26 July 2019) tells the story of the first female solo motorbike rider to enter the TT Race on the Isle of Man in 1962.
The exhibition opened with a women-only ride-out on motorbikes and an introductory talk by Kirstin Sibley, curator and Gemma Harrison, founder of local motorbike club, VC London. The exhibition was designed by Rachel Gomes and produced by Hannah Ford. The accompanying zine, designed by Joana Niemeyer/Studio April, recounts Beryl Swain's incredible story, in photos and words, the trials and tribulations she faced just to be able to compete in the sport. Read her story in the zine here. Printed with support by The Stow Brothers |
