Topics we explore
Our magazine is interview-heavy and designed to bring curators, art historians, museum directors and authors to the forefront. We feature exhibition round-ups, archival detective work, and the views of modern-day women committed to the culture scene in Florence and London. The magazine strives to offer inter-disciplinary perspectives exploring the fields of art, literature, music and science, in order to restore women’s contributions to history. We are also dedicated to showcasing the art and science of conservation as a means of promoting and protecting women’s oeuvres for the future.
