A panel discussion with artists Rebecca Jagoe, Jade Montserrat and Marianna Simnett with co-curator of FIGURE/S: drawing after Bellmer Michael Newman.
About
This discussion explores how Hans Bellmer and contemporary artists use drawing and writing to explore ideas around the transformation of the human to the non-human - be that becoming object, plant or a non-human creature. The discussion will consider this transformation as both reductive and destructive of the human – the costs of fascism, slavery, colonialism, racism, rape culture and populism to the body – and as celebratory and redemptive – a different conception of our relationship with animals, the natural world and commodities that can positively transform the human.
This discussion will be hosted live on Zoom 6 - 7:30 pm GMT, Thursday 23rd September, with live subtitles provided by Stagetext.
