LATEST ART EXHIBITIONS 1. DEFACED! MONEY, CONFLICT, PROTEST 11 OCTOBER TO 8 JANUARY The Fitzwilliam Museum’s latest display shines a light on the interplay between money, power and dissent over the last 250 years. Highlighting radical figures through history, from Thomas Spence and the Suffragettes to current artists and activists, the display reveals the role money has played in promoting social and economic equality, or satirising those in power. 2. THE WOMEN’S ART COLLECTION: LIFE IS STILL LIFE OPEN NOW UNTIL 12 FEBRUARY An art form commonly associated with women and the home, still life has been dismissed throughout the history of art. The latest exhibition at Murray Edwards College aims to turn this on its head, revealing still life as a site for radical experimentation, through the works of 15 artists working between the 40s and the present day. 3. HADDENHAM ART GROUP ANNUAL EXHIBITION 4 TO 15 OCTOBER Set in the leafy surroundings of Haddenham Arts Centre, this affordable art fair will highlight the creativity of locals working in a range of styles and media. Pieces by over 25 artists will be on display, and some of the creators will be on hand to discuss their work.
