Dr Lily Evans-Hill

Lily Evans-Hill is an Associate Lecturer specialising in visual culture informed by feminist politics in Britain and the United States in the long 1970s.

Her PhD project ‘Feminist Group-work: The emergence of the Women Artists Slide Library, 1970-1982′ was supervised by Dr Catherine Grant and Dr Althea Greenan (Goldsmiths) and funded by CHASE/AHRC. Her thesis explored the slide registry as a tactic of feminist informed artists and a resource for curatorial and history work as it enveloped key concerns of feminist practice by constituting new relational structures between women, raising consciousness about women’s art, and facilitating art historical writing informed by feminist politics. Her current research considers artists’ pedagogical responses to women’s liberation across the 1970-1980s.

Lily has published and presented research on moving image, print and visual cultures informed by feminism. In 2022, she was fellow at the Archives of American Art where she researched women’s slide registries in the United States. She currently teaches on the BA History of Art program at the Courtauld.
