Gender Stories
What is gender? How have ideas about it changed over time? How does it shape our day-to-day lives? These questions and more will be explored in a brand-new exhibition co-created by National Museums Liverpool.
Through a diverse collection of fine and decorative art, personal stories and objects, Gender Stories traces the spectrum of genders and their expression across time and place, examining how gender intersects with our sex, class, sexuality and heritage to shape who we are.
Featuring works by David Hockney, Catherine Opie, Grayson Perry, Rene Matić, Zanele Muholi and Del LaGrace Volcano, this ground-breaking exhibition explores the role art can play in questioning traditional gender roles.
Created in collaboration with Bristol Museums, National Museums Liverpool, Brighton & Hove Museums, and people from all three cities and the Walker Art Gallery will be the final venue to host the show.
Gender Stories has been created for the Museums and Galleries Network for Exhibition Touring (MAGNET), with Art Fund support, and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
