Despite decades of progress, gender inequality remains an uncomfortable constant in the art world, from representation in major collections to disparities in pricing and institutional visibility. While the conversation has certainly grown louder in recent years, real structural change has been undeniably slow.
Today, Our Culture shares three London galleries led by women for you to become acquainted with, each shaping the gallery landscape from positions of influence:
1. Gillian Jason Gallery
One of the UK’s only commercial galleries dedicated exclusively to celebrating female-identifying artists, the Gillian Jason Gallery is now run by a third generation of women and is firmly rooted in feminist curatorial practice. Currently, on view from 2 April to 16 May, The Many Within Her explores conversations surrounding womanhood through works of international women artists including Sara Berman, Georgia Dymock, Jingyi Li, and more.

Located on 77 College Road, London’s Wilder Gallery is a woman-owned independent gallery supporting emerging artists with a programme frequently foregrounding women’s voices and collaborative, inclusive approaches. The gallery will soon present Vegetable Venus, an upcoming exhibition of works by Xanthe Burdett.

3. Soho Revue Gallery
Soho Revue, founded by India Rose James in 2019, champions emerging artists within the world of contemporary art. The gallery is dedicated to elevating the artistic voices of those who have historically “been denied equity in the arts,” including women and other underrepresented groups. Currently, the gallery represents only female artists.
