On January 24, 2024, join us on-line, for a day-long conference at MK Gallery, with top Vanessa Bell scholars and authors, in response to the exhibition 'Vanessa Bell: A World of Form and Colour'. We are proud to announce a welcome addition to the day's already enriching schedule: A talk with Megan Hunter and Rebecca Birrell:
British author Megan Hunter will read from Interior With Two Women, a theatrical work in progress centered around the complex relationship between Vanessa Bell and her daughter, Angelica Garnett, and will also discuss her forthcoming, Charleston-inspired novel, Days of Light (Picador, April 2025). Megan will be in conversation with Rebecca Birrell, their discussion ranging across the connections between art, fiction and theatre, as well as the impulse towards both the historical and counter-factual in their work.
Megan Hunter is a prizewinning novelist, dramatist and screenwriter. She is the author of three novels: The End We Start From (2017), which was adapted into a feature film, The Harpy (2020) and Days of Light (forthcoming in 2025). In September 2024 her dramatic monologue Salt of the Earth premiered at Venice Film Festival. This contribution is generously supported by the Calliope Arts Foundation
Dr Rebecca Birrell is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of St Andrews and writer of This Dark Country: Women Artists, Still Life and Intimacy in the Early Twentieth Century (Bloomsbury, 2021).
