About
Join Peter Wakelin, the curator of ‘Refuge and Renewal: Migration and British Art’ for an Art History Day School packed with fascinating stories of émigré artists and the impact of displacement. Peter will unpack some of the context in which this exhibition sits, and give an overview of this wide topic.
The informative day not only features a curator’s exhibition tour in the galleries, but also some fascinating talks delivered by other specialists and finishes with a chaired panel discussion.
- Monica Bohm-Duchen will be looking at the immigrant experience in modern art from 1933, speaking about refugees from Nazi Europe.
- Peter Rossiter will talk on the life and work of his grandfather, the painter Martin Bloch (1883-1954) who had German nationality until it was taken from him in 1933 by the Nazis.
- Dee Smart will speak about the life and work of Dobrivoje Beljkašić, an artist and lecturer from Sarajevo, Bosnia, who lived in Bristol, from 1993 until his death in 2015.
