Event information

Jennifer Higgie on the art of healing and how art can lend solace to a troubled world.
How can art lend solace to a troubled world? Expanding on some of the themes of her new book The Other Side: A Journey into Women, Art and the Spirit World, Jennifer will discuss a cross-section of historic and contemporary artists and activists, collectives and individuals, examining how art through the ages reflects not only cultural, social and individual mores, but can also offer a space of speculation and consolation. In a world full of dreadful certainties and divisions, art, in its myriad manifestations, can suggest alternative perspectives and the possibilities of new paradigms. In the words of the Bauhaus textile artist Anni Albers:

‘Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness.’
