Description Mass Action: 137 Cakes in 90 Hours is a performative bake-off and test of endurance between the four members of Brown Council. Over the course of 90 hours, the artists are attempting to cook every recipe in the iconic CWA cookbook Jam Drops and Marble Cake. Paying tribute to CWA's 90 year history, dedicated to the empowerment of women, this monumental feat explores culturally embedded notions of 'women's work' and the importance of intergenerational dialogue.
