5.45pm-8pm
Join curator Hammad Nasar in conversation with artist David Alesworth for a special insight into the artist’s practice and to learn more about his paintings in the 'Beyond the Page: South Asian Miniature Painting and Britain, 1600 to Now' exhibition. The talk will begin with a seated event in our South Hall. The Box Kitchen and Bar will also be open and serving a limited menu. After a Q&A the event will move over to the exhibition in St Luke's so you can explore Beyond the Page further.
Bristol-based artist David Alesworth has extended his ongoing collaborative project (with Shakila Haider), Gardens of England – as a new commission for Beyond the Page.
In this conversation with Hammad Nasar, Alesworth discusses this new commission in the wider context of his longstanding interest in questions of ecology, and considers the history of gardens and horticulture as a lens through which to consider colonialism's entangled pasts and connected futures.
