Kudzanai-Violet Hwami features in Reframed: The Woman in the Window at Dulwich Picture Gallery

The exhibition (4 May–4 September 2022)  is the first exhibition to explore the enigmatic motif of the ‘woman in the window’.

 

Featuring artworks from ancient civilisations to present day, the exhibition brings together over 50 works by artists including Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, David Hockney, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans and Rachel Whiteread to reveal how artists have long used the motif to elicit a particular kind of response ranging from empathy to voyeurism.
