Artoble Podcast: Tania Ferrier, Bunbury Regional Art Gallery

Send us a messageLyn DiCiero speaks with Tania Ferrier whose exhibition, Angry Underwear is currently on show at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery. First exhibited in 1989, Tania developed Angry Underwear in response to witnessing an assault on a dancer in a strip club in New York where she was working as a bar tender. Emblazoned with snarling animal faces, dancers in the club wore the underwear as a form of protection and a form of protest to demonstrate their right to protect their own bodies. But what started a personal act of solidarity grew into a media sensation, attracting celebrities such as Madonna and model Naomi Campbell. In 2021, her work was featured in the National Gallery of Australia’s Know My Name exhibition, celebrating women artists who changed the narrative of Australian art. Today, Ferrier’s practice continues to evolve and the message of Angry Underwear just as relevant now.Angry Underwear is on show at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery until 15 February 2026. Listen on the go with Artoble Podcasts!
