In this series of talks, join Gallery Educator Dr Tilly Scantlebury who will take us through the collection, one painting at a time, using a queer lens. Through close looking and lively discussion, celebrate LGBTQ+ history month by revisiting these wonderful works from a different perspective. This is a walking tour where various paintings will be explored in different rooms. Please meet in Central Hall for the start of the talk. These sessions will be delivered in spoken English with British Sign Language interpretation.
