«Art,
Activism and the Women’s movement in the UK 1970–1990
This exhibition is the first of its kind – a major survey
of feminist art by
over 100 women artists working in the UK. It explores how networks of women
used radical ideas and rebellious methods to make an invaluable contribution to
British culture. Through their creative practices, women’s liberation was
forged against the backdrop of extreme social, economic and political change.
Women in Revolt! brings
together a wide variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture,
performance, film and photography. It explores and reflects on issues and
events such as: the British Women’s Liberation movement, the fight for legal
changes impacting women, maternal and domestic experiences, Punk and
independent music, Greenham Common and the peace movement, the visibility of
Black and South Asian Women Artists, Section 28 and the AIDs pandemic.
The show celebrates the work and lived experiences of a
hugely diverse group of women. Many who, frequently working outside mainstream
art institutions, have largely been left out of artistic narratives. Women
in Revolt! presents many of these works for the first time since the
70s.
This exhibition platforms a productive, politically
engaged set of communities, who changed the face of British culture and paved
the way for future generations of artists». Saiba mais.
