REEVE, Hester, PLENDER, Olivia and CHAMBERS, Emma (2013). Sylvia Pankhurst : The Suffragette as a Militant Artist. [Show/Exhibition]

Creators:	REEVE, Hester, PLENDER, Olivia and CHAMBERS, Emma
Abstract:	‘The Emily Davison Lodge,’ an ongoing collaborative artwork between Olivia Plender and Hester Reeve, is currently curating a small exhibition of Sylvia Pankhurst’s artwork with Tate Britain, producing a related audio artwork and organising a ‘readers’ morning’ bringing experts in the field of art and politics together. This research recovers and re-historicises the suffragette as a militant artist in order to infuse and sharpen contemporary interest in the relationship between art and politics through the inspiration of suffragette tactics and rigour. This display at Tate Britain will be the first showcase of Sylvia Pankhurst’s much overlooked contribution to art and politics within a major UK art gallery.
