Subverting Via Surrealism with Sequoia Danielle Barnes and Hardeep Pandhal 

6pm - 7pm, Thursday 30th April, Reid Lecture Theatre 
Free but ticketed - book via Eventbrite
Join Sequoia Danielle Barnes and Hardeep Pandhal to explore the intersections of surrealism and storytelling - from the familiar to the unfamiliar. 

Barnes and Pandhal’s respective practices see them create and re-create narratives, inviting audiences to witness multiple transformations of meaning. Throughout, we’ll unpack the artists’ use of mainstream culture - both contemporary and historical - to challenge racial hierarchies and discuss how playful semiotics subvert colonial conceptions.

This event is part of the Race, Rights & Sovereignty ‘States of Matter’ strand. ‘States of Matter’ is a programme strand which considers interactions between art and statehood, asking how practitioners shift our present states of living. Race, Rights and Sovereignty is a programme supported by the GSA Students Association in partnership with GSA Exhibitions.
