'Breaking the Mould' is the first survey of post-war British sculpture by women in a public institution. Spanning more than 70 years and exploring the work of over 50 sculptors, this exhibition provides a radical recalibration, addressing the many accounts of British sculpture that have marginalised women or airbrushed their work from art history altogether.

All the works in this exhibition have been selected from the Arts Council Collection and highlight its long-term commitment to women working in sculpture, as well as the strength and diversity of a wide range of practitioners.

The selected works are split into three themes: Figured, Formed and Found, which in turn are split across the venues of St Lukes (at The Box) and the Levinsky Gallery (at the Arts Institute, Plymouth University).
