Who was Gwen John, and why has history overlooked her? In this documentary, Rosie Clement Hennion uncovers the life of a fiercely independent Welsh artist, 150 years after her birth. Tracing her journey from the seashore of Tenby to the studios of London and Paris, Gwen John: A Portrait of Independence reveals a pioneering woman whose story deserves to be heard, with reflections from contemporary artist Celia Paul. Timed to coincide with a major exhibition at the National Museum of Wales, the programme brings her world vividly to life through her letters, rich storytelling, and immersive sound.

This is a Rosalie Clement Hennion production for 麻豆社 Radio Wales.
