About

As part of our Season of Sculpture, our co-headline Winter exhibition, If Not Now, When? features 29 remarkable female sculptors, celebrating their contributions to the world of art from the 1960s to now.

The exhibition is divided into three chapters and explores time as an everyday lived experience marked by the evolving cycles directly affecting women. 

WOMEN’S TIME: celebrates unique feminine values, such as life givers, preservers, and carers of others. 

TUMBLING THROUGH TIME: is preoccupied with the materiality and immediate urgency of issues such as climate change and the growing sense that time is of the essence.

THE TIME IS NOW: addresses distinct moments in history, bringing works together to present visitors with the reality of reoccurring injustices and discrimination addressed by each artist.
