For some reason I managed to find myself hanging around the Tin Sheds making International Women's Day posters and what not for the Women's Collective at the Sydney Women's Warehouse and I didn't even go to Sydney University at the time (but the National Arts School at Darlinghurst) & noone at Sydney Uni seemed to notice I wasn't enrolled there. lol. . Anyhow, thought I'd try track this book down being appropriate to this day which is International Women's Day. - (me).

Brian Zulaikha reviews this book -
""Under a hot tin roof" is a hotbed of gossip, reminiscences, photographs and quotations, a story of commitment and a revealing history of "art, passion and politics at the Tin Sheds Art Workshop". It might also be a document recording the emergence of what we have began to accept as a contemporary cultural site - though that sounds a little serious because the book not only records but, in it's homegrown design style, attempts to entertain the reader.

From the Shed's beginnings in 1969,Therese Kenyon reveals a history of extraordinary personalities, spurred on by ideals, who came together to set up a space - among them Donald Brook of the Faculty of Fine Arts, and Marr Grounds of the Faculty of Architecture. They represented creativity and experimentation; they set a value to aesthetics and art theory and a multitude of visual arts practices; they represented a potent influence on a generation of budding artists and architects.

At a time when freedom of expression and passion in politics was religiously practiced amongst university students, the Sheds enabled architecture and arts/humanity students to delve into the enigma that was arts practice. It was an incredibly sexy place and anyone who went anywhere else certainly missed out." - by Brian Zulaikha-(graduated in 1967 and missed out).""
