An inter-institutional conversation examines how perspectives and narratives around female and male nudity are constructed. The programme highlights the work of Sylvia Sleigh, whose practice reconsiders portraiture and the nude through the lens of 1970s feminism, subverting conventional viewing positions. Alongside collection-based displays tracing a shift from the heroic to the erotic gaze, the presentation juxtaposes representational strategies and visual languages to reveal how gender, power and desire are staged and perceived.
