Join Nicky Bird (Before & After Coal) and Rosy Martin (Women In Revolt) for a conversation about the significance of the early 1980s on their featured works in each shows, and their reflections on shared concerns that have informed two very different photographic practices. The talk will touch on themes of activism and visibility, notions of solidarity alongside the implications of becoming ‘living history’ in shows that revisit key events of the recent past.
Free, in person and online
Booking essential
To meet demand the National Galleries of Scotland are also offering an online live stream of the event.
