This landmark exhibition at the Whitworth features over 90 women artists including Vivienne Dick, Alison Lloyd and the Neo Naturist Archive, and collectives whose ideas have helped fuel the women’s liberation movement during a period of significant social, economic and political change.

Women in Revolt! explores six key themes, spanning two decades of art and activism. These include maternal and domestic experiences, anti-racist and LGBTQ+ activism, Greenham Common and the peace movement, and punk and independent music.*

Alongside a dynamic public engagement programme, the exhibition includes Bobby Baker’s An Edible Family in a Mobile Home, a sculptural installation of delicious edible life-size family figures formed from cake and biscuit.

This is the first free-to-enter presentation of this major touring exhibition. Women in Revolt! It is organised by Tate Britain in collaboration with the Whitworth, The University of Manchester and National Galleries of Scotland.
