As multimedia artist Rachel Maclean contends, throughout art history ‘artists are represented as men and very often the images they make are of women, or of women’s bodies’, these pictures produced through the lens of – and for the delectation of – the male gaze.

In this talk, Maclean describes the ways in which her film Make Me Up (2018) responds to and unsettles this traditional story of art.
