Moderna Museet will present the first major survey exhibition of the Swedish artist, activist, writer and eco-feminist Monica Sjöö in Spring 2023.
An unwavering advocate of freedom from oppression in all its forms, Sjöö came to be one of the seminal figures in both the Women’s Liberation Movement in the UK and the international Goddess movement.
The exhibition is curated in partnership with Modern Art Oxford and Moderna Museet Malmö, Sweden where it will be presented from 18 November – 25 February 2024 and 23 March – 8 September 2024 respectively.
