The Friendly Girls Society is a collaboration that converges distinct artistic practices – entwining threads of shared aesthetic and conceptual investigations. It grew out of scrutiny of the role of ‘friendliness’ in a commodified culture that has objectified the ‘self’ and deifies celebrity.
FGS aims to create interactive arts-based projects that operate as sites for discussion related to the post-modern meaning of benevolence; the functioning of groups; and the creation and perpetuation of mainstream value systems and narratives.
