As March unfolds\u2014a month of celebration and empowerment marked by International Women\u2019s Day and Women\u2019s History Month\u2014London\u2019s art institutions are turning the spotlight on women artists. Five Exhibitions to See in London<\/a><\/strong> in March<\/strong> 2025<\/em> highlights a compelling lineup of all-female showcases, featuring both pioneering voices and rising talents in contemporary art. From groundbreaking retrospectives to immersive explorations of mythology and identity, these must-see exhibitions celebrate the power, complexity, and creativity of women in art.<\/p>\n

First on our list of Five Exhibitions to See in London in March 2025<\/em> <\/a><\/strong>is the Hayward Gallery\u2019s \u201cDanger Came Smiling\u201d<\/strong>, the first London retrospective of British artist Linder, a figure synonymous with feminist punk aesthetics and photomontage. Spanning her 50-year career, the exhibition presents early works shaped by the raw energy of 1970s Manchester alongside newly commissioned, never-before-seen pieces. Known for her provocative explorations of gender, sexuality, and the commodification of the female body, Linder\u2019s distinct visual language remains as powerful and relevant as ever. This exhibition underscores her lasting impact on feminist art and experimental practice.<\/p>\n

On Savile Row, Hauser & Wirth London presents \u201cVerena Loewensberg\u201d<\/strong>, offering the first UK solo exhibition of the Swiss artist, who was the sole woman in the Zurich School of Concrete Art. Working alongside Max Bill and Richard Paul Lohse, Loewensberg sought to distil painting into pure form and precision. This exhibition, spanning works from the 1960s through the 1980s, explores her departure from rigid formalism into a more instinctive approach to colour and composition, positioning her as a key\u2014if long-overlooked\u2014figure in minimalism and geometric abstraction.<\/p>\n

Returning to the Hayward Gallery, \u201cMickalene Thomas: All About Love\u201d<\/strong> presents the first UK solo show for the pioneering American artist known for her rhinestone-studded portraits of Black women. A defining force in contemporary portraiture, Thomas\u2019s work challenges mainstream representations of beauty and femininity through a kaleidoscopic blend of collage, photography, and painting. From album covers (Solange\u2019s True<\/em>) to high fashion collaborations (Dior, 2023), her influence stretches far beyond the traditional confines of the art world. This exhibition celebrates Thomas\u2019s radical redefinition of identity and power through her distinctive fusion of colour, pattern, and subject matter.<\/p>\n

Taking an interior turn, \u201cEpoh Beech: The Pegasus Papers\u201d<\/strong>, curated by Lee Sharrock, showcases an innovative fusion of fine art and design. Beech\u2019s award-winning work transforms wallpaper into a storytelling medium, with four digitally printed designs\u2014Pegasus in Africa<\/em>, The Carousel and The Moon<\/em>, Hermes\u2019s River Journey<\/em>, and The Theatre and The Thames<\/em>\u2014all derived from intricate pen-and-ink drawings. Shown alongside animations and moving drawings, The Pegasus Papers<\/em> blurs the boundaries between narrative, design, and visual art, inviting viewers into richly imagined worlds where mythology and history intertwine.<\/p>\n

Finally, at Soho Revue, \u201cLa Mariposa (The Butterfly Woman)\u201d<\/strong>, a group exhibition curated by Becca Pelly-Fry brings together twelve contemporary artists. Inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Est\u00e9s\u2019 seminal work Women Who Run with the Wolves<\/em>, this show explores the divine feminine through themes of transformation, mythology, and reclamation. <\/p>\n

The works on display challenge traditional constructs of femininity, embracing themes of creation, destruction, and renewal. With feminist, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist perspectives woven throughout, La Mariposa<\/em> examines the connection between body, spirit, and land, offering a bold reimagining of female power in everyday life. From feminist pioneers to contemporary visionaries, these Five Exhibitions to See in London in March<\/strong> 2025<\/em> offer an unmissable exploration of the voices shaping today\u2019s art world.<\/p>\n

LINDER: DANGER CAME SMILING<\/h3>\n

The Hayward Gallery<\/strong> presents the first London retrospective of acclaimed British artist Linder<\/a><\/strong> from 11 February to 5 May 2025. Offering an illuminating overview of this iconic artist\u2019s 50 year-long career, the exhibition includes a selection of Linder\u2019s trailblazing photomontages and explores the full range of her artistic practice, underscoring the experimental and feminist impulses of her thought-provoking work.<\/p>\n

Danger Came Smiling presents the full trajectory of Linder\u2019s artistic production, from the early work that grew from her involvement in the punk scene of 1970s Manchester to new works that have never been shown before. Linder\u2019s distinct visual language is characterised by a playful irreverence, which investigates the sexual commodification of the female body within magazine culture in order to examine our shifting attitudes to aspirational lifestyles, sex, food and fashion.<\/p>\n

Verena Loewensberg at Hauser & Wirth London<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Swiss artist Verena Loewensberg (1912\u20131986)<\/strong> was a central figure in the Zurich school of concrete artists, a movement that sought to distill painting into pure form and precision. She was also its only female member, working alongside Max Bill, Camille Graeser,<\/strong> and Richard Paul Lohse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This spring, Hauser & Wirth presents the first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom devoted to Loewensberg, offering a rare opportunity to consider her legacy outside the framework of the movement she helped shape. The exhibition, which spans works from the 1960s through the 1980s, highlights a period in which the artist departed from the rigid formalism of concrete art. Engaging with the influences of color field painting, hard-edge abstraction,<\/strong> and minimalism<\/strong>, Loewensberg developed a visual language defined by structural clarity and an instinctive sense of colour.<\/p>\n

LA MARIPOSA (THE BUTTERFLY WOMAN)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Soho Revue presents La Mariposa (The Butterfly Woman)<\/strong>, a group exhibition curated by
Becca Pelly-Fry<\/strong>, running from 13 February to 15 March 2025. Inspired by Clarissa Pinkola
Est\u00e9s\u2019<\/strong> seminal work Women Who Run with the Wolves, this exhibition celebrates the strength,
intuition, and transformative power of the divine feminine through the lens of contemporary art.<\/p>\n

The exhibition brings together twelve artists working across disciplines, each engaging with mythology, ritual, and the reclamation of agency. Through bold feminist, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist perspectives, they weave narratives that challenge traditional notions of femininity, embracing the full spectrum of creation, destruction, and renewal.<\/p>\n

Exploring female power in the everyday, the exhibition celebrates feminine divinity, embodied in the joy of the flesh, the expression of the wild spirit, and the interconnectedness of all life. It also questions the disconnect from our own bodies, and by extension, from our infinite and eternal souls, our relationships with one another, and the land we inhabit.<\/p>\n

By reimagining mythological tales and folkloric rituals, the artists reclaim agency for themselves and for those historically marginalised, demonised, and erased from dominant narratives. In embracing La Mariposa, they transform her into a symbol of resistance, renewal, and imagined futures.<\/p>\n
