139. Visible Women
Moot

Dame Harriet Walter, one of Britain’s most acclaimed Shakespearean actors and an Emmy winner for Succession and Ted Lasso, takes centre stage in a conversation with photographer Lucy Sewill on women, visibility, and aging in the arts through history. At the heart of the event is Walter’s She Speaks!, her bold and imaginative re-voicing of Shakespeare’s women, which sparks a fresh look at how female characters—and actresses—are given space to be heard. Surrounded by Sewill’s striking Visible Women portraits, the discussion highlights the stark contrast between opportunities for male and female performers, while celebrating efforts to redress this imbalance through powerful portraiture and advocacy.
