Gender, Identity and Material

Drop in and explore themes of gender, identity and material in video work by current and graduate artists from the RA Schools.

To kick off our week-long celebration of International Women’s Day, discover contemporary video work by current and graduate artists from the RA Schools that explores themes of gender, identity and material.

The RA Schools is a contemporary school of fine art at the heart of the Royal Academy. Former students include J. M. W. Turner, William Blake and John Everett Millais, all the way to recent graduates such as Eddie Peake, Catherine Story, Matthew Darbyshire and Turner Prize nominee Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. Almost 250 years after its foundation, today the RA Schools continues to be the only art school in Britain to offer a free, three-year postgraduate programme to promising artists.
