The Woman Question: 1550–2025
“The Woman Question: 1550–2025” is organised into thematic chapters that address key trajectories in women’s artistic production: heroic allegories (“Femmes Fortes”), self-portraiture as agency (“Palettes & Power”), barriers to education and canonisation (“Education & the Canon”), identity and motherhood (“A Muse of Her Own” / “Of Woman Born”), mysticism and dream imagery (“Surreal Selves”), the unleashed erotic imagination (“No Gate, No Lock, No Bolt”), and women’s roles in conflict (“Wartime Women”). The exhibition juxtaposes works from figures like Artemisia Gentileschi and Sofonisba Anguissola with those of contemporary artists such as Faith Ringgold and Sonia Boyce to produce a reframing of art-historical narratives.
