So many of you will find the newest exhibition at the Freedman Gallery - Butch Heroes by Ria Brodell - utterly fascinating. An award-winning painter, Brodell returns to the Freedman with a remarkable solo show of small exquisite works in gouache, each depicting and celebrating a non-gender-conforming figure from the historical past - a Butch Hero. Part historical reenactment and historical essay, part reworked Catholic piety, these restrained, appealing, information-rich portraits will transform your sense of the past and your experience of the present.
