In 2021, June Givanni was presented with the British Independent Film Awards Special Jury Prize for what was described as \u201can extraordinary, selfless and lifelong contribution to documenting a pivotal period of film history\u201d with her extensive archive focussed on African and African diaspora cinema. The archive is now the subject of a new exhibition - PerAnkh: The June Givanni PanAfrican Cinema Archive. June joins Front Row to discuss turning her personal passion into a public resource.
Gwen John: the modern painter of interiors and solitary women, was once in the shadow of the men in her life - brother Augustus, Rodin, and Whistler. Critics Hettie Judah and Ben Luke review a new exhibition of her work at Pallant House Gallery, which considers her art and life, and her status as one of the most significant artists of the early 20th century. They also review Claire Kilroy\u2019s novel Soldier Sailor: a searing portrait of new motherhood.
