Join us for a guided tour of the BIG WOMEN exhibition at Firstsite in Colchester.

Suffolk-based Sarah Lucas, one of Britain’s most significant contemporary artists, who first came to prominence as a leading light in the generation of Young British Artists, has curated this major exhibition at Firstsite – and it’s going to be very BIG!

Under the headline BIG WOMEN, Firstsite will showcase a variety of works that will make you think, laugh and reflect on the role women play in the creative world. The exhibition includes sculpture, painting, film and fashion, produced by over 20 high profile female artists, including Renata Adela, Erica Åkerlund, Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, Kate Boxer, Yoko Brown, Angela Bulloch, Phillippa Clayden, Sonia Coode-Adams,  Vanessa Fristedt, Maggi Hambling, Pam Hogg, Rachel Howard, Merilyn Humphreys, Patricia Jordan, Princess Julia, Abigail Lane, Tory Lawrence, Millie Laws, Polly Morgan, Clare Palmier, Georgina Starr, Milly Thompson, Gillian Wearing, Sue Webster, and Lucas herself.

Sally Shaw MBE, Director of Firstsite says: “At Firstsite we always go BIG or go home! So this exhibition is perfect for our massive building, and to fill it with artwork from all these exceptional women artists will be incredible. There will be every kind of art form you can imagine, with so much to experience – with pieces that make you think and others which will make you laugh as well.”
