ABOUT FERREN

Ferren Gipson is a British-American art historian and artist passionate about making art history accessible (and interesting) for all.

Named one of Apollo Magazine’s ‘40 under 40,’ her art research spans a wide range of themes, including popular culture, craft, modernity, politics, and identity. She is the acclaimed author of Women’s Work and The Ultimate Art Museum, and as a dynamic storyteller, has contributed to the Financial Times and hosted the Art Matters podcast and the Object video series.

Ferren has previously taught for the Courtauld Institute and SOAS, and has delivered numerous talks for museums including Tate Modern, the National Gallery, the National Museum for Women in the Arts and more, as well as guest lectures for institutions like the Royal Academy of Art and Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Within her art practice, Ferren explores themes of spirituality, materiality, and matrilineal ties through textiles.

She is based in London.
