Friday Lates: Hard Art x The National Gallery: The Fête of Britain

The National Gallery’s collection is a vital cultural centre of storytelling around the UK and Europe’s past, present and future. Its paintings tell a thousand stories of who we have been, who we are, and where we might go.

Hard Art and the Fête of Britain unpack the ways that art and culture help us understand our stories and imagine other ways of being too.

Combining discussion, creativity and connection, this special event brings contemporary artists and thinkers from the Hard Art Collective into dialogue with the Gallery’s collection for them to discover and share how paintings speak to them about our past, present and possible futures.
