Join artist Emily Pope and Donna Howard, Executive Director of KARST, for an interactive tour of 'Beryl Cook: Pride and Joy'. Together, they'll explore how Cook’s lively, humorous paintings reflect and shape ideas about class.
The tour will focus on how class is represented through Cook’s depictions of people, leisure spaces, and city life. From nightlife scenes to seaside settings, her work captures distinctive social identities, expressed through dress, gesture, and environment. Emily and Donna will consider how these images connect to wider conversations about class within cities like Plymouth, and how class is interpreted both inside the arts and in everyday life.
This is a discussion-led event. You’re encouraged to share your own responses and experiences, reflecting on how class influences the way we see art – and how art, in turn, shapes the way we understand class and community.
The exhibition will be closed to the public for this event, meaning you’ll be able to spend time enjoying the show without the crowds after the discussion.
