The Angel in the House - Artist Talk

A free artist talk about The Angel in the House, a solo exhibition exploring how we remember others & how we relate to our memories through experimental animation, dance, and mixed media About Join Marian Obando and curator Fiona Cassidy on Saturday 24 October from 3-4pm at Chapel Arts Studios in Andover for an artist talk exploring the ideas, processes and inspirations behind Marian's first solo exhibition - The Angel in the House. The conversation will offer an opportunity to hear directly from Marian about her experimental approach to animation and her exploration of memory, dreams and the body, while gaining further insight into the development and presentation of the works in the exhibition.
