Women artists are everywhere in 2024 but let’s face it, it’s about damn time

Then there’s French-Algerian artist Zineb Sedira coming to the Whitechapel with the brilliant immersive installation she presented at the French Pavilion in the 2022 Venice Biennale, and her neighbour at the British Pavilion, the recently honoured Dame Sonia Boyce, who will present two new bodies of work at the same gallery, in response to another exhibition there by a woman artist, Lygia Clark – the first major UK public gallery survey for the Brazilian artist. And you may not know the work of Haegue Yang, but the Korean superstar will be bringing her work to the Hayward Gallery in the autumn.

Outside the capital it’s a similar story, with institutions from Yorkshire Sculpture Park (Leilah Babirye, Bharti Kher) to Kettles Yard in Cambridge (Megan Rooney), Baltic in Gateshead (Hannah Perry) and Dundee Contemporary Arts (Claudia Martinez Garay) hosting major exhibitions by brilliant women in 2024.
