Margy Kinmonth’s feature documentary (2025) shines a light on trailblazing women war artists. On the front lines around the world, these artists champion the female perspective on conflict through painting, photography, sculpture, prints, and more. Traditionally a male domain, war art by women has been largely unrecognized…until now.

Featured artists include Dame Rachel Whiteread, Zhanna Kadyrova, Maggi Hambling, Assil Diab, Dame Laura Knight, Marcelle Hanselaar, Cornelia Parker, Maya Lin, Shirin Neshat, and Lee Miller.

Following the screening, a discussion will explore the film’s themes and highlight featured artists who are also part of NMWA’s collection.
