WAYWORD FORWORD TOO is a new exhibition from Collective Effort Press, featuring the work of visual poets thalia and Sandy Caldow. Thalia and Caldow have developed substantial visual poetry practices since the 1970s and 80s, respectively. In the context of increasing international interest in women’s visual poetry, this exhibition showcases two practices that are both feminine but patently different.

Wayword Forword Too: Visual poetry by thalia and Sandy Caldow
📆 Opening: Saturday, 21st February
🕒 3–5PM
📍 Factory 8/102 Henkel St, Brunswick VIC 3056

Negative Press and Keeper Print Room are thrilled to present this exhibition, which has been organised by the artists and a host of friends and peers.

We are especially grateful to Emily Floyd () for designing this gorgeous poster (based on Caldow's 'Bird [poem]', 2025), π.ο. for designing the exhibition catalogue and Ella Skilbeck-Porter () for the catalogue essays.
