Ep. 1: Maggi Hambling (2025-05-27)

Art historian and curator Kate Bryan fully immerses herself in the life and work of Maggi Hambling, an iconic tour-de-force known as much for her acerbic wit as her artistic genius. My Week with Maggi Hambling sees Kate, who filmed many of her experiences on her iPhone, spending long days with Maggi at home and in her studio, where the artist rises daily at 5am, and sets to work despite her recent near-fatal heart attack. Discussing everything from her creative processes and her muses to speeding tickets, cinnamon buns and being a reluctant queer icon, this one-off film draws an intimate portrait of an artist usually out of the limelight and explores her acclaimed body of work.
Ep. 2: Lubaina Himid (2025-06-03)

An extraordinary exploration of Himid's life and working processes over a 7 day period, and when the crew leaves, Kate is left with just an iPhone to capture candid moments and conversations. Given access to Himid's multiple studios and working spaces, Kate gets under the skin of one of Britain" first black female disruptors. Himid's love of Preston, the industrial northern city she calls home is explored. A trip to Blackpool Tower Circus sheds light on early inspirations and a salvage yard hunt reveals more about Lubaina's obsession with breathing new life into old objects.
Ep. 3: Guerrilla Girls (2025-06-10)

Kate Bryan spends a week monkeying about with the bad girls of art activism, The Guerrilla Girls, who haven't given a film crew full access to their lives and works in over 30 years. Keeping their identities secret throughout the film, Kate joins the masked crusaders, iPhone in hand, filming as they continue to disrupt the status quo of the "billionaire boys club" of the art world, campaigning for equality of opportunity and representation in the lead-up to their major installation at the Beyond the Streets gallery in Los Angeles.
