Barbara Steveni: I Find Myself

Uncover female stories and explore the social impact of art through the life and work of artist-activist Barbara Steveni at Modern Art Oxford.

Pioneering and influential, Steveni often worked outside the art gallery creating artworks that were multidisciplinary and research based, and often took place without its participants realising. Visit I Find Myself to see some of her most influential works come back to life through restagings and artist interventions.

With a career spanning seventy years, Steveni was influential on many artists of different generations. Explore the galleries where some of Steveni’s key collaborators and those influenced by her career create new commissions responding to her work. New commissions come from Laure Prouvost, Anne Bean and Eloise Hawser.

This first retrospective exhibition of Steveni’s work is co-curated by Gareth Bell-Jones and Jo Melvin.
