Doris Salcedo in Conversation with Samira Ahmed
Doris Salcedo is a leading voice in contemporary art, known for her arresting sculptural and installation works that engage with themes of political violence, trauma and loss. This is a unique opportunity to hear Salcedo discuss her extraordinary career, which has drawn upon her own experiences of Colombia’s turbulent political history while also reflecting broader global concerns.
The event marks Salcedo receiving Whitechapel Gallery’s Art Icon award, which celebrates the work of an artist deemed to have made a profound contribution to the artistic landscape.
Salcedo will be joined in conversation by Samira Ahmed, the award-winning BBC writer, journalist and broadcaster.
There will also be an opportunity for audience members to ask questions and contribute to the discussion.
