Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970-1990

'A Note From Our Advisors - Althea Greenan, Griselda Pollock and Marlene Smith: "We want to salute this team of curators for wanting to know more about a critical moment in British art and culture - a time when contemporary art was fuelled by the energy, joy, wit, inventiveness, and sometimes anger, of so many artists, who made their art with a renewed, diverse and multi-faceted feminist consciousness sensitive to class, race, age, ability, sexuality and economic precarity. It has been an enormous privilege to celebrate and contribute as advisors to this wonderful project. It has not just been a trip down memory lane for us as 'feminist veterans'. It has been a wonderfully creative dialogue with the team at Tate Britain led by Linsey Young. We have opened our archives - being, in a way, also living archives - and deepen their fresh perspectives and supplement new research. It has been our pleasure to learn from Linsey's investigation into a past that we, as advisors, lived , each from our own different positions as artists, archivists, teachers and art historians."'
