The evening will feature performances, screenings, and talks by the artists, scholars and curators Anne Bean, Dave Stephens, Eleanor Roberts, Helen Petts, Nikki Milican and Dominic Johnson.
Screenings include Helen Petts' Solo Soprano – a Portrait of Lol Coxhill, Matt Page's HINCH -a film about Ian Hinchliffe, and Elisabeth Wilding's film of one of Roger Ely's final performances Endings are Beginnings are Endings
