The Sleepers
Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name at The Women’s Art Collection in Cambridge (18 Sept 2025 – 22 Feb 2026), The Sleepers explores rest as a complex, intimate and deeply political act. Beginning with Gwen Raverat’s 1927 lithograph Sleepers, this publication weaves personal narrative, feminist theory, disability activism and art history into a powerful meditation on caregiving, illness, motherhood and creative labour. Featuring works by historical and contemporary women artists such Tracey Emin and Celia Paul alongside a community quilt and critical texts, The Sleepers invites readers to reconsider what it means to rest, who gets to do it, and why it matters.
