Review: Tate Britain's Women in Revolt! Exhibition, 2024

An article written for Studio V about whether this exhibition highlights the unsung heroines of British art, and if it does confront the discourse around the intersection of art and feminism. In the article, I explored how these women artists redefined the course of British art and challenged societal norms. In doing so they carved a space for future generations of women to rewrite history. However, I reflect on whether the setting at Tate Britain serves to amplify the women of the exhibition or if it instead presents several limitations that hinder its effectiveness. I pose the question: does this exhibition truly do all women justice? In the article, I include the history of Tate Britain, the steps the museum has taken to work towards a more equitable future, as well as, the creative practices on show and the curatorial process of the exhibition.
