The Guilty Feminist & Tracey Emin in Conversation
Artist Tracey Emin joins podcast host Deborah Frances-White for a candid, unfiltered conversation about art, honesty, feminism and the life behind the artwork.
Known for her confessional and confrontational work, Emin has spent decades transforming the personal into the political – exploring love, loss, sex, illness, shame and survival with unflinching honesty.
From neon to needlework, painting to installation, her work sits at the heart of contemporary feminist discourse.
In this special edition of The Guilty Feminist, Frances-White meets Emin one-on-one for a deep, searching conversation. Together, they explore the stories behind the art, reflect on a life and career built upon radical honesty, and what it means to keep making, speaking and resisting.
Deborah Frances-White is an award-winning writer and comedian, best known as the host of The Guilty Feminist podcast, which has amassed over 200 million downloads worldwide.
