1.30-4pm
To celebrate the Gallery’s new Matt Smith exhibition, ‘Other Stories: Queering the University Art Collection’, in association with LGBT History Month, join poet David Tait for a workshop in response to the show. Smith draws inspiration from the life narrative of the Victorian writer and early gay rights activist, Edward Carpenter, but the workshop will be focused on re-writing the narrative of the whole gallery; the people and the pictures, ensuring that every piece argues and sings. We’ll be looking at poems too – notably by Elizabeth Bishop, Carol Ann Duffy, Frank O’Hara and Mark Doty.
