The six-part film programme Through a Radical Lens takes up the themes of the current Tate Britain exhibition Women in Revolt: Art and Activism in the UK 1970-1990 through the film and videos practices of UK based feminist artists then and now. The screenings and conversations revisit urgencies of the 1970s and 1980s which are still current today.
This first screening in the series includes the rarely screened campaigning films of the London Women’s Film Group, whose experimental techniques confronted female labour and reproductive rights.
Through a Radical Lens is programmed by Lucy Reynolds, with curatorial contributions from Club des Femmes, Karen di Franco for Chelsea Space, and Rachel Garfield and Will Fowler at BFI Southbank.
