At this rare moment when these three great women artists are all exhibiting at Tate, join Katy and Bidisha for an unmissable fireside chat. They will explore how each artist reveals their inner life and body through their work, tracing themes of vulnerability, identity and self-representation. The evening will conclude with a signing of Katy's books.
All three of Katy's books can be purchased on the night along with the three exhibition catalogues.
