Age of Many Posts Weekender

Postwar Modern: New Art in Britain 1945-1965

— ,Conservatory
Arabella Turner work

Associate Artist Abbas Zahedi presents a weekend of activities taking place across the Conservatory and Garden Room inspired by Postwar Modern and its resonances with our current age.

Across the picturesque conservatory, terrace and garden room a mixture of Abbas’ friends and associates, as well as young artists  he has worked with as part of this project will present a selection of their work. This will include film, immersive audio, sculpture, painting and more. The work presented focuses on a wide range of themes from loss and family to identity and community, plus much more in between. 

On Saturday there will also be a performance from FaceSoul and Flames Collective, as well as live poetry recitals. There will also be a bar in operation all weekend. 

Abbas Zahedi was commissioned to work alongside the exhibition, specifically considering the parallels between our current moment and the reality faced by artists working in the postwar period. 

Full programme available here.
