The Wise Women Conversations are a series of discussions between artist and academic Dr Gillian Dyson, and women involved in some way with the Leeds 2023 Year of Culture programme: artists, curators, programme managers or community leaders.

The recordings were made with some live listeners, in the Leeds ‘23 Hub in Trinity shopping mall, September 2023.

The conversations followed a thread of discussion wherever it might take us. The result is a series of candid exchanges from women with strong ideas, experience, and knowledge to share.

Wise Women Conversations is a commission for Leeds 2023 Year of Culture and supported by Leeds Beckett University, School of Arts.
