Thank you all for voting for this exhibition in the poll I sent you a few weeks back - it was a clear win.

From the organisers:
"A major retrospective of Leicester based artist Satta Hashem. The exhibition includes early political illustrations for Arabic newspapers, murals, rare archive material and paintings and drawings from the past 25 years.
Hashem’s work reflects his Iraqi heritage, using deep saturated colours to explore how art can make sense of life, death and war and the role of the artist in conflict.
Weaving a tapestry of current realities, mythology, tragedy, and imagination with intense consideration of colour. The resulting portraits and compositions evoke the earliest depictions of the human face found in ancient Sumerian masks and temple plaques."

The agenda:
1. Let's meet in front of the gallery at 11:00am - there is a car park just next to the gallery.
2. We can then grab a coffee in a nearby café.
3. Visit the exhibition.
4. Lunch in a nearby restaurant - there is a really good pizza place we went to last time.
