A groundbreaking celebration of Helen Chadwick’s bold, feminist art and material experiments.

Discover the extraordinary world of Helen Chadwick in this major retrospective, the first in over 25 years. Journey through her daring and provocative works, from In the Kitchen (1977) to the striking Piss Flowers (1991–2).

Chadwick’s art challenges conventions, blending beauty with unexpected materials—meat, chocolate, and even bodily fluids, while offering a witty, feminist perspective. This exhibition reveals her profound influence on British and international art, showcasing her playful, innovative spirit and enduring relevance to contemporary feminist thought.
