Uncovered: The Body in Art

UNCOVERED: THE BODY IN ART

Across human history the body and art have always been irrevocably entwined. In this six-part series, Rose Balston will analyse the body – drawing examples from ancient art through to contemporary, to explore how the body in art has helped shaped our understanding of the world.

All lectures are pre-recorded. 2023 series (running Jan-March, Sept-Nov) will be released at 12:30pm GMT on Wednesdays via Zoom Webinars. They will be available to watch on catch-up via Tixoom. All series include a 2-week mid-term break.
