May 17, 2024 - Serpentine Galleries presents the first major interdisciplinary, immersive institutional exhibition in London of Judy Chicago.

On view at Serpentine North from 23 May to 1 September 2024, this is the artist’s largest solo presentation in a London institution.

In addition, Serpentine and Thames & Hudson have collaborated to publish for the first time a manuscript Chicago penned in the early 1970s that provides the underlying vision of equality that shaped her career. Titled Revelations, this visionary illuminated manuscript is a radical retelling of human history recovering some of the stories of women that society sought to erase, and one that Chicago never imagined would be published in her lifetime.
