A Q and A with Linsey Young on the award winning exhibition catalogue that accompanies the exhibition Women in Revolt: Art, Activism and the Women’s Movement 1970 – 1990, hosted by Ciara Hickey.
The Women in Revolt catalogue is a timely exploration of the work and lived experiences of a postwar generation of women artists that have largely been omitted from art historical narratives, Women in Revolt! surfaces the wealth and diversity of work created in the UK during the 1970s and 80s, a period of seismic social and political change.
Featuring essays on feminist film distribution, the visibility of Black and South Asian women artists, Section 28 and the AIDS pandemic, Greenham Common and the peace movement, and the intersection of punk, feminism and art, Women in Revolt! celebrates the full diversity of what was a highly creative, politically engaged and determined community of women that paved the way for future generations and, ultimately, changed the face of British culture.
The book won the inaugural Association of Art Historians curatorial writing award with the jury commenting ‘Though a catalogue of an exhibition, it achieved its aim of serving as an accessible standalone publication, almost, as one panellist commented, and exhibition in its own right. The research mobilised the authority of the previous generation of feminist art historians and artists in an exemplary way’.
