This National Gallery touring exhibition aims to reintroduce artists overlooked for their gender to contemporary audiences. Drawing on moments in which women created new forms of art and cultural commentary, the exhibition suggests new histories by highlighting creative and intellectual relationships between artists through time.
Featuring more than sixty works – from Agnes Goodsir’s portrait of the androgynous Parisienne reinforcing independence and individuality in the 1920s to Vivienne Binns’ groundbreaking feminist pieces from the 1970s and ’80s, as well as paintings by First Nations artist Emily Kam Kngwarray.
