The image is a still from Nan's installation exploring the history of the Women's March on Versaille 1789, a pivotal moment from the French Revolution.

On the morning of October the 5^th 1789, there was a near riot at a Paris market at the price of bread.  Meanwhile in the Palace of Versaille lavish banquets were indulged in by the elite.  7000 marched on the palace that day, they forced the royalty to return to Paris where they would be exiled.

Of course Nan Goldin is no stranger to activism, bringing down the wealthy Sackler family.  She risked everything, shaming powerful art institutions into taking down the Sackler name as they at once pushed powerfully addictive pharmaceuticals and the same time as painting themselves as beneficiaries of the arts.

As Nan once put it ‘there is dirty money everywhere. But, I have to say, I still love museums. In the end, most of them did the right thing and hopefully we have at least started a conversation.”
