Thank you. Eva Frojmovic, Leeds RUBIES AND REBELS Jewish Female Identity in Contemporary British Art Concourse Gallery BARBICAN CENTRE SILK STREET, LONDON EC2 Rubies & Rebels is the first exhibition of its kind to be seen in this country. Focusing on the work of 20 artists whose Jewishness and femaleness are central to their identity, it offers fascinating insights into the diverse ways in which women perceive their Jewishness in contemporary Britain - and in so doing, demonstrates how art can be a crucial vehicle for exploring and defining issues of identity.
