The Bodleian Libraries are pleased to announce a thrilling collaboration for Oxfordshire ArtWeeks 2025 with award winning Icelandic artist, Kristjana Williams.

For this display, Kristjana has taken inspiration from a new Bodleian Publication Intrepid Women, by former Curator and Joint Head of Collections at Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum, Julia Nicholson.

Choose from 6 postcard designs as the perfect memento from this collaboration.

The bespoke Bodleian edition of Kristjana's original artwork Tree of Exploration includes the six extraordinary women featured in the book who broke through the proverbial glass ceiling to carry out revolutionary field research in distant parts of the world 'unsuitable for ladies'.

As a woman who grew up in Iceland, a country with a strong tradition of gender equality and female leadership, Kristjana conceived her Tree of Exploration to symbolise the spirit of exploration, adventure and discovery that has motivated many women throughout history and as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the world and the need to protect and preserve it for the future.
