In-Conversation:
Cecilia Fiona and Jennifer Higgie

Join artist Cecilia Fiona and writer Jennifer Higgie in-conversation on the occasion of Cecilia’s exhibition at Towner. Cecilia and Jennifer will discuss Cecilia’s exhibition and wider artistic practice. There will be 15 minutes at the end for audience questions.

Cecilia Fiona (b.1997) based in Copenhagen, Denmark works across sculpture, painting and performance developing an interconnected practice in which each medium extends and informs the other. Her performances embody the biomorphic forms that emerge within her paintings, while her sculptural works expand the landscapes and narratives she creates through her imagery.
