Born in South Africa in 1968, artist Lisa Brice spent extended periods of time living and working in Trinidad before settling in London. This month, Brice’s work – which includes large-scale paintings that address the longstanding art-historical tradition of the female nude – will go on show at Tate Britain for the first time. Her work depicts women, alone or in groups, chatting, getting dressed, undressing or escaping the heat of the sun for a beer or a cigarette. Brice captures women in moments of downtime, engaged in a private world, performing everyday rituals. ...
If your skin tone is closer to Zoë Kravitz, Solange or Jourdan Dunn, you have warm undertones. If you’re more akin to Chloë Sevigny, Kate Moss or Karlie Kloss, then you have cool-toned skin.

This morning, the first ever statue of a woman was unveiled in Parliament Square, central London, otherwise known as the heart of our democracy. Prime Minister Theresa May, the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, and feminist and author Caroline Criado-Perez, who spearheaded the campaign, all gave speeches to mark the event, while the likes of Jeremy Corbyn and London's Night Czar Amy Lamé were also in the crowd.

It’s early evening in Jamaica and I’m sitting cross legged in a room with 20 other women aged between 25 and 75. Everyone has a bottle of water; some have headphones, earplugs or a pillow.
