Art constantly seeks to understand, as well as revealing, the human condition. This event will investigate the characters in our collection -  the muses, artists and viewers. To respond to the theme we are working with artist Paul Kindersley to stage a site wide Tableau vivant as well as Wet Paint author Chloë Ashby, The Courtauld BAME Society, Feminist Society and Gender and Sexuality Working Group to host pop-up talks exploring intersectionality within our collection. 

Our After Hours series is produced as part of the Open Courtauld strand hosted by The Research Forum. This strand is all about sharing advanced research in art history, curating, and conservation, and is part of our Courtauld Connects project.

Aligning with The Courtauld’s digital events series ‘Open Courtauld Hour’ our ‘After Hours’ will broach contemporary issues in society through participatory activities that encourage new perspectives and thinking, focused on The Courtauld collection.
