Join Professor Robert Mills (Professor of Medieval Studies, University College London) for his insightful talk which explores the medieval inspiration behind Kiki Smith’s Jacquard tapestries and considers how medieval art and culture has been a source for modern and contemporary artists. Kiki Smith’s tapestries are on display as part of Modern Art Oxford’s exhibition of her work: I am a Wanderer.
