Freddie Robins is one of seven female artists featured on the new WAL App developed for the Women’s Art Library (located in the Special Collections and Archives of Goldsmiths Library, University of London).

The WAL App is part of a research project called How to Make an Archive Travel, led by Dr. Ana-Maria Herman. The project aims to make digitised materials from the Women’s Art Library archive ‘travel’ outside the Library’s walls and to perform a digital intervention by making women artists, their work and archives (more) visible.

Liberties, an exhibition of contemporary art reflecting on 40 years since the Sex Discrimination Act curated by Day + Gluckman

Works by over 20 women artists will reflect the changes in art practice within the context of sexual and gender equality since the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act (1975) in the UK. Some artists confront issues that galvanised the change in law whilst others carved their own place in a complex and male dominated art world. From the radical movements of the 1960s and 70s, the politics of the 80s, the boom of lad culture in the 1990s to the current fourth wave of feminism, encouraged largely through and because of social media, all of the artists’ question equality and identity in very different ways.

The exhibition presents a snapshot of the evolving conversations that continue to contribute to the mapping of a woman’s place in British society. Body, femininity, sex, motherhood, economic and political status are explored through film, photography, sculpture, performance and painting.
