Historic and Modern British Art – Women Depicting Women: Tate Britain Tour
Meeting Point: At the top of the Djanogly Steps, just before the Duveens Gallery
Join WAAW for a special Sunday guided tour at Tate Britain to discover the often overlooked masterpieces painted by female artists as part of their permanent collection. With the help of our tour guide Laura we will address the concept of the male gaze and learn about the historical obstacles faced in terms of entry into both the institutional and public art world.
This thought-provoking event offers a unique opportunity to explore how women artists, both historic and contemporary, have portrayed female subjects challenging conventions, reshaping narratives, and offering deeply personal, political, and artistic reflections on womanhood.
The tour will delve into artworks that span centuries, examining how the female gaze has shaped and redefined the depiction of women in visual culture. From intimate portraits to bold statements, you’ll gain insight into the evolving role of women in art, not only as muses or subjects, but as creators, storytellers, and visionaries.
