As part of our ongoing collaboration with Yellow Lighted Bookshop they will be here in our Sanctuary space.
Writer Tony Peake will be discussing his biography of late artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman with Dr Paul Harper. His book offers an unparalleled insight into Jarman's kaleidoscopic life, career and legacy.
In researching this definitive biography Tony Peake, who knew Jarman in the last years of his life, was granted rarified access to Jarman's archives thanks to the cooperation of the late artist's family and friends. Featuring a new foreword by Olivia Laing and afterword by Jon Savage, the book covers Jarman's post-war childhood, his student years at The Slade and the white-hot legacy of his work as a designer, writer, painter, filmmaker, gardener and activist.
The book will be available at a discounted price on the evening.
