Viewing Women in Revolt! at Tate Britain

It’s the first of its kind, a remarkable survey of feminist art featuring over 100 incredible women artists from the UK. Step into a world where radical ideas and rebellious methods paved the way for a priceless contribution to British culture. These women used their creative genius to champion women’s liberation during times of tremendous social, economic, and political change.

“Women in Revolt!” is a vibrant tapestry of creativity, showcasing painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, film, and photography. It delves deep into issues and events that shaped history, like the British Women’s Liberation movement, legal changes impacting women, maternal and domestic experiences, Punk and indie music, Greenham Common and the peace movement, the visibility of Black and South Asian Women Artists, Section 28, and the AIDS pandemic.

This exhibition is a tribute to the diverse group of women who, often working outside traditional art institutions, were largely overlooked in artistic narratives. Now they’re getting the attention they deserve.

Viewing Luke Edward Hall: 300,000 Kisses

Queer love in the ancient world gets long overdue attention at No.9 Cork Street this month in Luke Edward Hall’s solo show 300,000 Kisses, presented by The Breeder. The artworks are taken from the Penguin book of the same name – a series of suppressed or forgotten queer tales on love, desire and affection, written by the poet Sean Hewitt.

Hall’s vibrant and lyrical paintings give contemporary life to classical iconography, showing the vulnerability, beauty and the eroticism of the male body. Dreamlike and romantic, yet psychologically charged, these are works that seduce.
