Anita Corbin 100 First Women Portraits
15 February to 7 June 2020
Free with Brighton Museum admission, residents and members free
Discover and celebrate 100 pioneering women of the 21st century in this major
exhibition by acclaimed photographer Anita Corbin. These striking images capture
an impressive record of female achievement, from beatboxing to bomb detection,
computing to cricket, blast furnaces to boardrooms.
This exhibition features iconic portraits of celebrities, unsung heroines from across
the decades, and ‘ordinary’ women doing extraordinary jobs. Including seventies
rocker Suzi Quatro, Olympian Boxer Nicola Adams OBE, Lady Brenda Hale of the
Supreme Court and football manager Hope Powell.
‘It is my hope that women who dream big will look
at these pictures and see that they are not alone.’

Celebrities, actors, royalty, politicians, military men and religious figures were all

Curneen, Stephen Dixon, Ingrid Murphy and Matt Smith, have responded by making
contemporary cultural icons. These sit alongside original Victorian portrait figures
from our collections, and analytical drawings of historical flat-backs by John Hewitt.
