This autumn, Tate Britain will present Women in Revolt!, a landmark exhibition of feminist art in the UK from 1970 to 1990. It will explore how interconnected networks of women used radical ideas and rebellious methods to make an invaluable contribution to British culture. Showcasing work by over 100 women artists and collectives living and working in the UK, this will be the first major survey of its kind.
Painting, drawing, photography, textiles, printmaking, film, sculpture, and archival materials will be brought together to map a landscape of creative practice forged against a backdrop of extreme social, economic, and political change.
Women in Revolt! will transfer to National Galleries Scotland: Modern, Edinburgh, 25 May 2024 to 26 January 2025 and the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, 7 March to 1 June 2025.
