Unfortunately our planned speaker on the subject of the 'Arnolfini Marriage' has had to cancel. We expect to reschedule this speaker and subject at a later date.
Dame Paula Rego is an important feminist artist, whose confrontational works mix fairy tales with the socio-political context of her family, her view of womanhood and her Portuguese heritage. This promises to be a thought provoking and moving lecture.
