Encounter a pioneering eco-feminist artist in this first comprehensive survey of her career.
Born in 1938, Monica Sjöö committed her life as an advocate for gender justice, eco-feminism and social equality. The Great Cosmic Mother is the first institutional solo presentation of her work, which explores the relationship between art, spirituality and politics.
Highlighting both her ideas as an artist and political principles, the exhibition shows the overlapping connections between her works of art and her activism. By celebrating her legacy as an artist and activist who was ahead of her time, the exhibition argues for the contemporary relevance of this inspiring pioneer.
