Join this special evening of conversation with renowned Guyanese-British artist as he discusses his new, collaborative exhibition Hew Locke: what have we here?
In this groundbreaking new show, Locke (born 1959) explores, questions and challenges narratives of British imperialism through objects from the British Museum collection, alongside specially commissioned new works. Offering a fresh perspective on the British Museum's history and collection, which are closely tied to those of the British empire, Locke explores the messy and complex ways museums are implicated in these histories.
British Museum Director, Nicholas Cullinan, will introduce this event and the context for the exhibition. Distinguished author and arts broadcaster, Emma Dabiri, will chair the thought-provoking conversation joined by Hew Locke, his assisting co-curator Indra Khanna and British Museum curator, Isabel Seligman.
The discussion will be followed by a book-signing session by Hew Locke and Emma Dabiri.
