Dr. Susan Aberth, prominent cultural historian and leading Leonora Carrington scholar, has observed, “Like the alchemical processes of distillation and transmutation that abound in her work, [Carrington] continues to shift across boundaries and elude easy classification.”
Join Dr. Aberth in conversation with Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, and curator of the Rose’s current exhibition, Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver, as they delve into the enigmatic world of this visionary artist. Together, they will explore Carrington’s childhood immersion in Irish folklore, her harrowing escape to Mexico in the 1940s alongside other European refugees, and her creative journey across mystical terrains, steeped in magic, mythology, and the occult.
