Photography from the National Museum of Women in the Arts

Drawn from the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington), this collection display showcases photography and video work by seventeen contemporary artists from around the world. By turning their camera to women, including themselves, these artists embrace the female body as a vital medium for storytelling, expressing identity and reflecting individual and collective experience. Featuring work by: Marina Abramović, Rineke Dijkstra, Anna Gaskell, Nan Goldin, and Charlotte Gyllenhammar. Find out more about the ‘Terrains of the Body’ exhibition from the Whitechapel Gallery website.
