Artists Making Books: Poetry to Politics

29 Jun 2024

12:00 - 13:00

The Alhambra Theatre

In the hands of artists and poets, books have taken a radically different form since the advent of the artist's book in Paris in the early 20th century.  

In this fascinating conversation, art historian, Dr Venetia Porter, curator of the Artists making books: poetry to politics exhibition, and academic and writer, Dr Atef Alshaer, discuss the exhibition’s accompanying publication, a stunning collection of outstanding and fascinating artists’ books. 

Join us for an enthralling discussion as they delve into the range of artists work, from Beirut to Tunis and beyond. Highlighting the relationship between artists and writers and the influences that inform their work, from family to politics and everything in between.
