This talk will look at how Lili Brik’s position, as both muse and socialite, reflected the changing gender norms and the status of women in the decades following the Russian revolution. We will discuss the depictions of women in popular visual culture and art to illuminate the nuances and contradictions that existed in Soviet society in the 1920s and 1930s as the establishment of the new social order was taking place.

How can people from different generations be connected by artworks?
Young children and older adults have spent time together in community workshops exploring themes in the 'Picturing Excess' exhibition.
