SUMMARY:From the Collection: Women Artists
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of artworks from NMAGâ€™s collection celebrates the variety of genres\, methods and media used by women artists\, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Northampton Museum & Art Gallery Saturday 11 November â€“ Sunday 12 April 2026 Throughout history\, both men and women have created art\, yet only a select few have been remembered within Western art history. Art by men was historically valued more highly than art by women\, reflecting broader beliefs that only men could possess artistic or creative genius. Certain genres and mediums were also considered more prestigious\, while work made in the domestic sphere was dismissed as craft or decoration rather than recognised as fine art. Women were barred from studying nude figures a crucial part of classical art training until the late 1800s. Second-wave feminism in the twentieth century\, and wider social changes in the twenty-first\, have challenged these hierarchies. Today\, women are at the forefront of artistic production\, with artists such as Tracey Emin\, Maggi Hambling\, Rachel Whiteread and Jasleen Kaur recognised as leading voices in contemporary art.

SUMMARY:GenFest 2025: Dorothy and Her Very Many Friends – by Jude Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Dorothy and Her Very Many Friends is a synth-pop musical about the true story of the persecution of gay sailors in 1980s America and the futile search for the elusive Dorothy who connected them all. \n\nIn 1980s America\, the Naval Investigative Service are intensively hunting down and discharging gay sailors in the US Navy at an unprecedented rate. But if they truly want to win their war on homosexuality\, they know that they must first defeat the one woman standing in their way: Dorothy. \nWho is Dorothy? What does Dorothy want?

Only one man\, with a predictable secret of his own\, can stop her. \nPowered by an 80s synth pop score\, ‘Dorothy and Her Very Many Friends’ is a surreal musical comedy inspired by a lesser-known chapter of queer history. \n\nPart of Genfest 2025\nDiscover the full line-up of performances\, workshops and artist one-to-one’s taking place across GenFest\, Sun 16 – Sat 22 November.
