A Lady in the Shadows

Before she died in 1969, Margaret Watkins left a sealed trunk for her new neighbours. Little did they know what they were about to inherit.

Borimir Totev talks with Joe Mulholland, proprietor of the Hidden Lane Gallery in Glasgow, who has championed the Margaret Watkins archive since discovering it some years after her death. Joe takes us on an exclusive walk through the classic images on display at Pushkin House, as part of the Margaret Watkins exhibition. We dive into the extraordinary story of this woman's life, work, and visit to post-revolutionary Russia.

This podcast episode was edited and produced for Pushkin House by Borimir Totev.
