Following a fifteen year institutional practice that culminated
in the exhibition Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970 – 1990 curator Linsey Young left
the Tate to pursue a PhD and independent curatorial work. This lecture will explore that journey discussing the politics of
representation and contemplating potential routes to a sustainable feminist practice.
