Pauline Boty: The Wimbledon Bardot

Dr Sue Tate talks to Samira Ahmed

An opportunity to find out more about one of the leading co-founders of the British Pop art movement, Pauline Boty.

Known as the Wimbledon Bardot, Pauline Boty was a student at Wimbledon School of Art. She smashed stereotypes and confronted issues well ahead of her time, but was not given the recognition she deserved. During her tragically short life, she produced an exciting and complex body of work, commenting on pop culture, feminism and so much of the era in which she lived. Dr Sue will be in conversation with BBC broadcaster and journalist Samira Ahmed.

‘The life of Boty? A Molotov fusion of possibility and loss.’ – Ali Smith
