"The current of imagination, as it flows into a work of art, is a form of play – and that is essential to human well-being."
Marina Warner explores making art: from child's play to collective ritual, from Banksy to Balinese dance.

This March, we are spotlighting the brilliant women who challenge, define, and expand our knowledge.
