Lecture: Helena Reckitt

Join Drawing Room for a lecture given by curator and researcher Helena Reckitt. Reckitt's work focuses on the domains of Art, Curating, Feminism and Sexual Politics; Affect & Relationality; and Curatorial Education. 

From the Inside Out is a group exhibition of female artists who utilise expanded forms of drawing to navigate a passage from personal experience to the outside world. Featuring new works by Nilbar Güreş, Marie Jacotey, Athena Papadopoulos and Emma Talbot, the exhibition explores the capacity of drawing to convey the complexity and diversity of female experience.
