Experience over 80 women artists and collectives who helped the women's liberation movement.
This blockbuster exhibition charts a major moment in recent history, when women artists and collectives contributed to the women's liberation movement during a period of social, economic and political turmoil. Having toured at Tate Britain and National Galleries of Scotland, this version of the exhibition will directly speak to Manchester's radical histories and will be free to enter for the first time in its tour.
Don't miss Bobby Baker's sculptural installation of life-size figures, made out of cakes and biscuits.
