This event with Michele Roberts starts at 7pm on 25
September and will be held in the Tate Modern bookshop.
This Hatchards Piccadilly event
is also up online. It starts at 6.30pm on Thursday 12th September.
Maggie Humm says: I’m so enjoying Voyaging Out - an
amazing work of retrieval and celebration and with glorious images. The book
manages to be both accessibly interesting and scholarly.
A hard thing to pull
off.
Rachel Cooke’s review ran in Sunday’s Observer. It is
also online here in full:
‘diligent, detailed and full of
surprises: everyone is here, from the still celebrated (Sybil Andrews, Vanessa
Bell, Barbara Hepworth) to the little known and the almost completely forgotten
(Catherine Giles, Ithell Colquhoun, Cecile Walton) … Voyaging Out bulges with
hope for the future: for more research, for more books and, above all, for more
inclusive and wide-reaching shows.’
