Edmund de Waal in Conversation with Hermione Lee

The celebrated artist and writer Edmund de Waal will be in a free-flowing conversation with biographer Hermione Lee about his life and work, as well as the intersections of art and memoir-writing. As described on his website:

‘In his visual art and literary works, Edmund de Waal uses objects as vehicles for human narrative, emotion and history. His installations of handmade porcelain vessels, often contained in minimalist structures, investigate themes of diaspora, memory and materiality’

This conversation will explore these themes—human narrative, emotion, and history—in depth.
