Join us next Thursday as part of Whitechapel Gallery Lates curated by Ronan Mckenzie for a special evening book club and shared reflection space in response to Joy Gregory: Catching Flies With Honey.
Inside the ‘Fierce & Fearless’ installation, we’ll explore the intertwined themes of folklore, myth, and legend – tracing threads of history, identity, and language that run through both Gregory’s visual storytelling and our focus title, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head by Warsan Shire. A powerful debut grounded in familial and cultural memory exploring layered experiences of the feminine woven through migration, tenderness, and survival.
This is an invitation to read, reflect, and draw connections between image and word. Attendees are warmly encouraged to bring along a favourite poem, folklore, or story of their own choosing that resonates with these themes to share during the session.
With a curated mini pop up library available to view for the duration of the exhibition.
Walk in welcome, subject to capacity.
