The Know My Name initiative illustrates the need for a critical discourse about the representation of women in the arts by considering historical, social, cultural, and contemporary contexts.

In this learning resource, activities encourage students to analyse works of art for their formal qualities as well as within broader contexts, often relating artists’ practices through comparison.
