Talk
Marianna Simnett gives an artist talk to accompany the exhibition Performing Gender, which features her Jerwood/FVU Awards commission, Blood.
Blood features Lali, a ‘sworn virgin’ from the north of Albania, who has renounced her biological identity and elected, from an early age, to live life as a man.
In the talk, Marianna will deconstruct her work, drawing on the themes of gender, identity and sexuality.
