Discovering Women Sculptors - Series Four

Public Statues and Sculpture Association

Exciting new series of talks, 'Discovering Women Sculptors from the 17th Century to the present day'

Following our successful series of talks on Discovering Women Sculptors over the last two years, we are delighted to announce our new Spring 2023 series.Generations of women sculptors are gradually being rediscovered and acknowledged. This talented international sisterhood, many of whom have been forgotten, have skilfully practised sculpture through the centuries. Often determined, strong and resilient, they have literally left their chisel marks and fingerprints alongside those of men on the history of sculpture.In this exciting series of online talks, experts in the field rediscover these women sculptors from past centuries helping to lift them from obscurity to reveal their life and work, and converse with living artists to explore the challenges facing female sculptors today.Cost of attendance: £3.50 per talk.All talks are free for PSSA Members - <a href="https://pssauk.org/join/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">join</a> the PSSA .PLEASE NOTE TICKETS FOR EACH TALK MUST BE BOOKED SEPARATELYTalks begin at 6.30pm (London) unless otherwise stated.<h3>Spring 2023 - Series Four</h3>Thursday 9 March - Ethel Pye: recollections and images from her nephew by William Pye, Sculptor.Thursday 16 March - Camille Claudel Was Not Alone: Women in Symbolist Sculpture challenging the Culture of Gender by Professor Griselda Pollock, University of Leeds.Thursday 23 March - Josefina de Vasconcellos: &#x27;from remembrance to reconciliation&#x27; by Dr Melanie Veasey and sculptor, Shawn Williamson.Thursday 13 April - Inner Intensity and Outer Calm: Figurative Sculpture by Nancy Elizabeth Prophet in Paris, 1922-1934 by Dr Theresa Leininger-Miller, University of Cincinnati.
