Talk: Artists as Emigrants (Friday 22 June, 3-4pm)
To mark Peter Pears’ 108th birthday, art historian Dr Mandy Bentley discusses artists represented in the Britten–Pears Foundation collection in whose work the challenges and rewards of emigration have played a significant part. While each artist’s experiences and responses are individual, their various narratives draw out fascinating themes relating to identity and the role of ‘place’.

A House on Middagh Street (Friday 22 June, 7-8pm at the Pumphouse)
Did you know that Benjamin Britten once shared a house with WH Auden, Carson McCullers and Gypsy Rose Lee? The House on Middagh Street was where Gypsy wrote her pulp classic The G-String Murder and Britten composed Paul Bunyan, and it was a hive of activity for many other artists. Come and spend time in their eclectic company for an hour of readings, music, and unexpected interludes. Design and direction by Sarah Gabriel.
