Violence against women takes many forms. For the month of February, we have a special display at the Heroines Quarter showing how different artists have tackled this problem through their work.
Nan Goldin (b 1953) is an American photographer and activist whose work explores LGBTQ+ subcultures, sexual intimacy, HIV/AIDS crisis, and the opioid epidemic. Now, a new documentary film, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras is set to release in the UK in January 2023. It is an “epic, emotional and interconnected story” about Nan “told through her slideshows, intimate interviews, ground-breaking photography, and rare footage of her personal fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the overdose crisis”.
