Join us for an exhibition tour of British-Canadian artist Erica Rutherford's (1923 - 2008) first-ever UK solo exhibition A Human Comedy, led by writer and filmmaker, Juliet Jacques.
The tour will be followed by a series of performative readings from Juliet's newest book, The Woman in the Portrait (Cipher Press / 2024).
"Taking us on a smart, funny, and deeply political ride through art, sex, and discovery, The Woman in the Portrait collects the short fiction of ground-breaking transgender writer Juliet Jacques. Showcasing both previously published and unpublished works, these stories offer an era-spanning tour through culture, politics, and community, presented with Jacques' trademark originality, insight, and humour." - Cipher Press
