Tuesday 29 July 2025 An Unusually-Inked Artist (Heads up: this one’s not for the squeamish!) Artist Katie Taylor talks about a deeply personal project that dives into the weird and wonderful relationship we have with our bodies. After losing a significant amount of weight, Katie had surgery in 2022 to remove excess skin – then decided to keep it. Not just keep it, but she turned it into leather, working alongside experimental archaeologist Theresa Emmerich Kamper. Yep, real human leather. The process was intense – ending up with a soft, touchable material from her own body. It’s a project that gets people talking about the body, identity, and what we’re allowed to do with ourselves. Tuesday 29 July 2025 8pm (Doors 7.30) The Bell, 50 Middlesex Street E1 7EX (Tubes: Liverpool Street, Aldgate, Aldgate East) Tickets £5/£3: https://wegottickets.com/event/666702/
