biography

Jenny Brownrigg is a curator, researcher and writer. Her enduring research question is: How can curatorial methodology and exhibition-making bring new understanding to the overlooked practices of 20th Century women photographers, filmmakers and artists in Scotland? Exhibition outputs include: Sandra George, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art (2024, 5 Florence Street, Glasgow); the survey exhibition 'Glean: early 20th century women filmmakers and photographers in Scotland', City Art Centre, Edinburgh (2022/23) and ‘Franki Raffles: Observing Women at Work’, Reid Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art (2017). She has co-curated exhibitions exploring lesser-known aspects of 20th Century Scottish women artists’ practices, including ‘Bet Low: An island on your doorstep’ Reid Gallery GSA/The Pier Arts Centre (co-curated with Andrew Parkinson, 2025) and ‘Early Eardley: Selected works 1940-1950’, (Reid Gallery, GSA, co-curated with Professor Susannah Thompson, 2023).
