Festival of Ideas: Biblical Women Ageing Disgracefully
Event details
Join award winning artist Sarah Lightman as she discusses her witty series ‘Biblical Women Ageing Disgracefully’.
Sarah playfully takes familiar figures, once painted by ‘masters’ of western art, and traps them in scenes from her life: Bathsheba is tired of the dishes; Eve’s lost in the pile; Mary bleeds on holiday. In this session, Sarah shares her inspiration and her use of religion, humour, and satire to spotlight women’s lives, struggles, and aging bodies.
