Organised by Whitechapel Gallery
Join us for a special evening with artist Emma Talbot, winner of the 8th edition of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women as she delves into the imagined worlds and future environments of her new commission, The Age / L’Età with Whitechapel Gallery curator Laura Smith.
With both the climate and cost of living crises unavoidably pervading our lives, Talbot suggests refreshingly alternative ways of existing in our contemporary world, and new modes of being that embrace climate care, feminism and age-positivity.
The discussion coincides with the opening of the exhibition, the culmination of a bespoke six-month residency in Italy organised by Collezione Maramotti, which will feature epic silk-paintings, video animations, three-dimensional work, drawings and atmospheric sounds. Visit The Age / L’Età after the talk and explore more ancient and holistic ways of crafting and belonging, that rethink ancient power structures and celebrate the natural world in order to survive.
