Esteemed curator, art historian and founder of The Great Women Artists Instagram account and podcast, Katy Hessel is dedicated to championing women artists across history and the world.
Hessel has interviewed groundbreaking artists such as Tracey Emin CBE RA and Sheila Hicks as well as renowned writers including Deborah Levy and Ali Smith. In her book The Story of Art Without Men, Hessel interrogates who is included in the history of art – and notably, who has been left out.
