Empowering Her

The Empowering Her exhibition confronts the deep-rooted inequality of women’s representation in portraiture and within public memory. Through powerful portraits, the project celebrates remarkable women who are creating a lasting legacy for those challenging norms, advocating for change, and shaping Britain today.

Empowering Her opens 4-14 March 2026 at The Gallery at Green & Stone, London, in support of UN Women UK.
