From Chiharu Shiota at the Hayward Gallery, Gwen John at the National Museum Cardiff and 94-year-old Bridget Riley in Margate, to Frida Kahlo and Ana Mendieta at Tate Modern this summer, female artists from all over the world can be found across the country. Lubaina Himid will be the second black woman to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale in May (Sonia Boyce was the first in 2022). The list goes on.
