Lunchtime Conversation: Ana Maria Pacheco’s Box of Heads
Saturday 8 July 2023, 1.30pm
Free, drop-in
This event is part of Lunchtime Responses: a series of events where members of the Towner team invite you to hear new perspectives, unique takes and personal stories about the varied works on display at the gallery.
Join Towner staff member Terry Henson for a 20-minute close discussion about the artwork Box of Heads by the Brazilian artist and printmaker Ana Maria Pacheco.
Expect insights into some of the religious narratives within the work with consideration for how Ana Maria Pacheco presents themes of myth, fantasy and the darker side of humanity.
During the discussion you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss your own thoughts.
This is a drop-in, free event for all.
Meet inside Gallery 1 on the first floor.
