“Her Noise” is not just a feminist platform for female artists, it’s a platform that is supposed to get female artists closer to each other, create a safe space where beginners can experiment and ask questions, and finally force that will speak for women and face up the difficulties and inequality in the music industry for female artists. It was the first platform created and curated by women compared to only male-dominated ones. Lina Dzuverovic said during an interview that the music scene is such a male-dominated place because there isn’t freedom for women to ask questions and experiment. There was no link between female artists who know what they are doing and female artists who are just starting until “Her Noise”. It might be because of confidence level but most men’s existence in the music scene is much more normalized than the existence of women. Therefore men naturally feel more confident and free to roam around, experiment, and ask a question but women, because of the way society puts their position in the world, makes them self-conscious and afraid to ask questions said Emma Hedditch in the interview produced by Electra in 2006. Lina also said that most of the time female artists are not as well marketed or heard of compared to male artists. As a curator, the most important is to find this one person that didn’t know how to package/present their work to a wider audience and therefore they weren’t heard about. Anne Hilde Neset defines the title as strong. Word “Noise” talks about the energetic and messy nature of the exhibition and the word “Her” clearly defines for whom this platform is created because it is supposed to be a safe space for a female artist to learn and experiment. Some people might call ” Her Noise” the feminist ghetto. First of all, no one says things like that about male-dominated and male-intended platforms and secondly, a lot of men participated in an event created by “Her Noise” so it doesn’t seem to be a problem for the male part of society. Word “feminism” started to be wrongly understood and associated, which makes a lot of women feminists not want to define themselves as feminists or any feminist movements to be taken the wrong way. Exhibitions created by “Her Noise” are different from the typical ones. They are messy, chaotic, and energetic because that’s what the work behind music looks like. You can see a lot of paint, pink, glitter, and shortly things that you wouldn’t associate with the gallery but more nursery. Anne said that she was very surprised at what turns the exhibition took, and instead of a minimalistic, classic space, they ended up with a very free and dynamic show, which represents the nature of the pieces. “Her Noise” definitely made an impact with their first exhibition as it was widely reviewed by the media and also as there was a huge crowd of people who visited, even though the show happened far from central London. The strength of “Her Noise” are not only the unknown artists taking part in the show but also the archive which is constantly developed and magnified. Interviews with artists naturally ended up being documentaries. It wasn’t planned at all but thanks to that they got a strong message.
