This was a temporary display while we were waiting to move into our new home in April 2024.
From the Latin subvertere meaning ‘to overthrow’, subversion is a process by which the values and principles of a system in place are contradicted or reversed in an attempt to disrupt the established social order. And this is exactly what these artists are doing … all the items in this display have been selected to highlight how women challenge the norms of photography, the art world and society.
Opening times are 10:30 – 16:00 on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. For other days and times by arrangement, simply email hello@hundredheroines.org to book a slot.

A selection of objects from The Collection that reference some of our core themes, from a 1960s newspaper article about the domination of men in the portrait world to a collage from Helen Chadwick. We also have a vintage Wunderkammer filled with items and stories relating to the displays.
