ART FOR VOTES’ SAKE: Visual Culture and the Women’s Suffrage Campaign.
2 October to 20 December, Entrance Free
Art for Votes’ Sake reveals the power of art in the suffrage campaigns.
Determined to fire the public imagination, suffrage artists exploited
everything from traditional embroidery to the latest printing technologies.
But other suffragettes vandalised great paintings as a form of protest. A
rich array of material is on show, much of it for the first time.
