A collaboration between Beaconsfield, Feminist Library and the Estate of Monica Sjöö, this exhibition will bring Sjöö’s life and work into fresh focus. Featuring 56 paintings and drawings by Monica Sjöö, works are placed in a contemporary context through a programme of performances, workshops, reading groups and symposia by contemporary artists and writers invited to respond to the issues explored by Sjöö in her life and work.
A defiance of patriarchy and acute awareness of ecological issues is demonstrated in the body of work brought together for this exhibition of largely unseen paintings and mixed media drawings at Beaconsfield, courtesy of the Estate of Monica Sjöö.
