Dancing her way through history and her story. Marking the archive and letting it mark her. Finding a voice within a chorus of opinions and reflecting projections of now and then. Montserrat’s work is a fracture in the linear narrative of consumption and a rigorous critique of the way cultural production scars bodies and constructs histories.

Tender Order by Jade Montserrat, made with Jane Lawson and edited by Industria, centres ‘matters-of-care’, detailing aspects of self-care and the impacts to self-care made by environmental or socio-political frameworks.

The publication includes a new commissioned text ‘Breath. Work.’ by Jade Montserrat, an A3 poster edition by Jane Lawson, a bookmark and contributions from collaborators of ‘Precarious straits ~ survival on Southend’s new coast, Southend-under-Sea.’ The publication comes in a compostable potato starch sleeve.

Precarious straits ~ survival on Southend’s new coast, Southend-under-Sea’ is a collaborative project from TOMA (The Other MA) and TOW (The Old Waterworks) and is a Creative Estuary co-commission with additional funding from Arts Council England.
