To mark what would have been Jordan’s 70th year, a new exhibition unveils an unseen archive of images tracing her journey from childhood to Punk legend. Jordan Uncovered: A Personal Photo Album offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the life of the woman Derek Jarman once called the “first Sex Pistol”—a muse, a provocateur, and a living work of art.
Colony Room Green exhumes Soho’s most notorious bohemian enclave, its emerald walls once again bearing witness to the unvarnished truth. Between these inviolable green tiles, Jordan’s myth dissolves—no longer just Westwood’s muse with her electrified beehive and warrior eyeliner, but something far more dangerous: a woman who weaponised selfhood. That razor-sharp dismissal—”I didn’t care what people thought”—wasn’t punk posturing. It was the manifesto of someone who turned existence into insurrection.
Curated by Andrew James and artist/author Darren Coffield, the exhibition presents Jordan as she was: not merely Punk’s most fetishised figure but a radical in her own right, a woman who wore her anarchic glamour as armour. The images—many never before exhibited—capture her beyond the stage lights in moments of unguarded authenticity.
To coincide with the show, two limited-edition prints will be available, with proceeds benefiting Cat Protection, a cause close to Jordan’s heart.
Jordan Uncovered at Colony Room Green, nestled beneath Ziggy Green—a Bowie-inspired haunt that channels the decadence of old Soho. The space itself is a time capsule, faithfully recreating the Colony Room’s emerald walls, its no-phones policy, and its infamous rule: don’t be boring. Sip a Dick Bradsell-era Espresso Martini (invented here for Kate Moss) and immerse yourself in an era when art, music, and mayhem collide.
