Bow Down: Women in Art

79

Bow Down is a podcast about significant women artists from the past, hosted by Jennifer Higgie, editor at large at Frieze. Women have been expressing themselves since the beginning of time. Yet, ask around and you’ll find that most people struggle to name even one non-male artist from before the 20th century. For each 20-minute episode, Jennifer invites an artist, writer, historian or curator to nominate an artist to whom we should all … well, bow down. Subscribe to learn more about these radical women, all of whom made – and continue to make – the world a more interesting place.

    Great content!
    This podcast was just what I was looking for on my quest to learn more about women artists. The episodes were informative without getting dry and the length was just enough to be engaging. I liked the diversity of artists chosen as well as the presenters the host picked. I learned about artists I never knew before and with every new episode I googled the artist to find out more! I would definitely recommend.

    Entertaining, informative & inspiring
    Entertaining, informative, and inspiring this is my new favorite podcast about women in the arts and the arts in general. I have been following Jennifer Higgie's instagram about great female artists from history that have gone underrecognized. It's awesome to see this morph into a podcast and a conversation.
