Join us for a panel discussion exploring the radical economies of feminist collective art practices

Collective practices have been pivotal to feminist creative and activist efforts. In the 1970s and 80s, many women artists embraced group work as a means of mutual support, unlocking creative potential, and combating patriarchal individualism.

Featuring Women in Revolt! artists including Ingrid Pollard from Lenthall Road Workshop, Maggie Murray from Hackney Flashers and Format Photographers Agency, Roshini Kempadoo from Format and Autograph alongside Women's Art Library curator Althea Greenan, this panel discussion highlights pioneering feminist collective art practices. These artists adopted group work to challenge conventional gender norms and address the systemic undervaluing of 'women’s work'.

Chaired by journalist Moya Lothian-McLean, this event aims to reflect on the enduring relevance of collective practice, and ask: How can the alternative economies forged by these artists inspire contemporary efforts for gender equality and social change?
