Caroline Walker: Women's Work + Q&A

Duration: 2h
Dates: Thu 3 Jul 2025 18:00 - 20:00

Women's Work is a new documentary directed by Nicola Black, about internationally acclaimed artist Caroline Walker, who explores the diverse social, economic and cultural experiences of women living in contemporary society. From female tailors to midwives, from chambermaids to migrant workers, Walker paints the unseen, often underpaid work of women everywhere.

This screening is followed by a Q&A with artist Caroline Walker,  filmmaker Nicola Black, and DCA Director, Beth Bate.
