Book published by @w.w.norton @nortonyoungreaders 💝 • #WomenArtists 29 Sep 2026 Art Historian and Author Katy Hessel on The File "In a way beauty felt like something that was unreachable because it was over there, and actually that's such a shame. If I could go back to that kid and tell her it can be so many different things I would. Why can't you just live with the fact that you are beautiful." - @katy.hessel Interview: @emmachamptaloup Motion and Photography: @jamesmsbarber 17 Jul 2026 On process. Art historian, curator and writer Katy Hessel in conversation with David Olusoga, live at Hay Festival 2026. 30 May 2026 Dressed as a cow in Clive Bell's bedroom @charlestontrust festival !! 🐄📸 @stevenhattonphotography 29 May 2026 Aaaand THAT'S A WRAP !! 🎬🎬 Just finished filming the NEXT SERIES of Portrait @artistoftheyear with my fellow judges (!!!) @evalangret @jonathanyeo ~ & the best crew in the world ♥️ Coming soon to a screen near you 😎 styling @leithclark 💝 21 May 2026 TODAY on the GWA Podcast: a Venice special with LUBAINA HIMID ✨✨ who is representing Great Britain at this year's @labiennale with her installation: "Presenting History: Testing Translation" ~ LINKINBIO 🔗 Known for working in paintings, sculpture, installations, archives, and more, Himid – active since the 1980s, when she was established as one of the leaders and trailblazers of Britain's Black Arts movement – uses her art and her training in theatre to create all-encompassing works that tackle silenced histories. (Go to ep. 33 to hear a deep dive into Himid's life and work; today focus on her pavilion for Great Britain!) This year, Himid showcases large-multi-panel paintings drenched in her vibrant palette. You are first struck by architects, who lead you into rooms centred around kitchens and tailors’ workshops, with sound work that evokes an English summer day. The exhibition, in conversation with the Pavilion's neo-classical structure, highlights Britain as 'welcoming and airy, brimming with potential', but - of course - there is an underlying sense of unease as the texts, images and sounds – in collaboration with Magda Stawarska – subtly introduce tension… She asks questions throughout: can poison taste delicious? Is water always useful? Can flies settle here? But also: Where do you come from? What reminds you of home? Do you want to go back to the old place? I asked her what she wants from visitors:  ”...what I want from people that come is only that they come and that they bring as much of themselves as they can to it. Bring your old auntie inside your head to it. Bring some meal that you cooked with food that you bought in a market that vaguely represents what your uncle used to make on a Sunday. You know, bring all that with you and see if there's something we can exchange in the space.” LISTEN NOW! • #LubainaHimid #WomenArtists 06 May 2026 Katy Hessel - author, art historian and the force behind The Great Women Artists - joins us Under the Cover to share some of her favourite books! Katy is the author of The Story of Art without Men, which celebrates overlooked women artists and has just been published as an illustrated guide for children. She has also written How to Live an Artful Life, providing creative inspiration throughout the year. It was an absolute treat to speak to Katy at the National Portrait Gallery in London and hear about rewriting art history, worshipping Katherine Rundell and the big-name book she couldn’t get through… let us know if you agree with her! If you’d like to get hold of any of the books mentioned, you can order through the Under the Cover Bookshop.org link in our bio (affiliate) 🧡 PS watch until the end for a reveal of something exciting coming soon… 📜 Katy’s list: The Story of Art Without Men by Katy Hessel, and The Story of Art Without Men: An Illustrated Guide, with Ping Zhu London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe Flesh by David Szalay Love, Nina by Nina Stibbe The Cost of Living by Deborah Levy Ways of Seeing by John Berger Football Legends: Bukayo Saka by Ben Lerwill Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell Chess by Stefan Zweig Out of This Century by Peggy Guggenheim Super-Infinite by Katherine Rundell Monuments and Maidens by Marina Warner The Story of Art by EH Gombrich 02 Apr 2026 HATCHARDS!! 💕💕💕💕 @hatchardspiccadilly 10 Mar 2026 Today is World Book Day AND publication day for "The Story of Art Without Men: An Illustrated Guide to Amazing Women Artists" ✨🌍🌹❤️⭐️ Get your copy ~ illustrated by @pingszoo ~ now!!
