The winter season of the Seesaw Lounge is being released as a podcast series. In this conversation Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery curator Lee Kinsella shares her insights into the Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art, ahead of its release into the virtual realm.

This is the second episode of the Seesaw Lounge, recorded with Nina Levy, Lee Kinsella, and Seesaw Friends on Wednesday 1 July 2020.

Kinsella discusses how the process of curatorial acquisition and restorative action can paint women back into art history, and the University of Western Australia’s ongoing drive to increase accessibility to its art collections.

“There’s special areas of the collection that are seen to be strengths, such as modernism, feminism, we have some beautiful textile works, we have all sorts of political posters, we have contemporary photography and amongst those we have some fantastic indigenous photographers, installation, paintings, drawings.”

Lee Kinsella on the richness of the Cruthers Collection.

The Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art was released online on 18 July 2020. Exhibitions drawing from the collection can be viewed year round in the Lady Sheila Cruthers Gallery at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery.
