Description

Images have long been used to oppress women, binding them within a stale set of stereotypes – the erotic Venus, demure bride, and more. Join Arts Historian Catherine McCormack as she offers a radical challenge to how we’ve been taught to see and value women, their bodies and their lives. Catherine is an author, independent curator and consultant lecturer at Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Her recent books are The Art of Looking Up (White Lion, 2019) and Women in the Picture (Icon Books, and WW.Norton, 2021). In 2019/20 she curated the acclaimed two part show ‘Matrescence and Maternality’ at Richard Saltoun Gallery in London.
