Gender Stories

Overview
What is gender? How have ideas about it changed over time? How does it shape our day-to-day lives? These questions and more will be explored in a brand-new exhibition co-created by National Museums Liverpool.
Through a diverse collection of fine and decorative art, personal stories and objects, Gender Stories traces the spectrum of genders and their expression across time and place, examining how gender intersects with our sex, class, sexuality and heritage to shape who we are.
Featuring works by David Hockney, Catherine Opie, Grayson Perry, Rene Matić, Zanele Muholi and Del LaGrace Volcano, this ground-breaking exhibition explores the role art can play in questioning traditional gender roles.
