The Surreal Worlds of Leonora Carrington

Tuesday May 30th at the Bell 


 

One of Britain’s most acclaimed esoteric artists, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was in the vanguard of Surrealist art. Her themes included feminism, ecology and the interconnectedness of everything; she had a fascination with myth and symbolism, including Tarot. 

Carrington’s cousin Joanna Moorhead, author of The Surreal Life of Leonora Carrington, takes us through her art, and the many places that inspired her across Britain, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the US, and finally Mexico, where the artist lived for more than 60 years. 

This richly illustrated talk includes Carrington’s relationship with Max Ernst and her friendships with a host of other artists including Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and André Breton. 

Joanna’s new book, Surreal Spaces: The Life and Art of Leonora Carrington,  is published by Thames & Hudson. For 30% off visit Thames & Hudson online and enter the code SURREAL30 at checkout. Code valid from 1 June 2023.

Date: Tuesday May 30th 2023

Time-Slips

By
  Time-Slips 26 November 2024 In the early years of the 20th century, two ladies visited the gardens of Versailles. Whilst there, they apparently slipped back in time to the late 18th century. They published a book describing their experience, which in later years was debunked as misperception and hallucination. Case closed. Or is it? There are a plethora of similar contemporary reports of apparent slips through time, from brief glimpses to full interactive experiences. Most reports describe features from the past, but a few describe possible slips forward in time. Dr Ann Winspe r has been researching people apparently travelling through time for the last 20 years. She describes some of these fascinating cases and looks at possible explanations, as well as how not all can be explained through misperception and psychology.
