October Art Chat with the Curator

October's Art Chat shines a spotlight on Cartes de Visite. We have a growing collection of these cards by women photographers from Europe, the US and UK. Come and find out more about the pre-cursor to social media and the breakthrough in photographic processing that led to these cards becoming all the rage in the Victorian era.

Whether you're a photography enthusiast, an art museum aficionado, or simply curious about the visual arts, this event welcomes all to engage in meaningful conversations and broaden perspectives.

Join us as we explore the intersection of feminism and photography, delving into the works of trailblazing female photographers redefining the art scene.

This series offers an insightful journey into the transformative power of visual storytelling and the representation of diverse voices within the art world.

Art Chat runs along similar lines to a book club, but includes exhibition walkthroughs with the curator, short films, articles, photographer profiles, exhibition catalogues and handling objects from the Collection.
