About this blog

This blog was born as a compelling need to document the wide presence of female artists in the cultural context of London. Covering some of the most relevant exhibitions in the capital, we will analyse the unique realities that creative women represent in their works and how their art influences their life.
We will create our blog through interviews, pictures, videos, and articles that will describe the life and the works of a wide group of artists from different generations, countries, and cultural backgrounds, all hosted in the English capital. Each of these stories will be the proof of successful lives in which art gave women the opportunity to express themselves in the society.
