Join me on a journey through the evolving presence of women in the art world. Together, we’ll uncover:
- Why Women Artists Matter – and why they’re still underrepresented in major museums. What stories have been told — and which have been left out?
- The Rise of the Female Artist – tracing how women fought for recognition as professional artists, with a special look at self-portraits from the 1500s to today.
- Where to Find Their Work Today – discover the museums and galleries in London where women’s art is celebrated and on display.
About Roberta
Roberta’s love for art and architecture borders on "obsession"—and she’s happily embraced it! Her special passion lies in Modernist architecture, which led her to earn a Graduate Certificate with distinction in History of Art and Architecture from Birkbeck University. That was actually her second degree—her first career is in Economics, with over 20 years of experience in the fast-paced world of financial markets. Now, she channels her energy into making art and architecture not just informative, but fun, relatable and engaging for everyone. She’s the founder of Art Tours with a Theme – ART wiT, a London-based project offering themed tours and talks that bring the city’s creativity to life. You can follow her curated art and architecture adventures on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon.
