C-DaRE Invites… Simon Whitehead and Rosemary Lee

Event details

Landings: A conversation

Artists and old friends Rosemary Lee and Simon Whitehead discuss land as a primal influence on their relative practices. Thinking of land as a verb as well as a noun, they consider what it is to land and how this shapes our experience.

Rosemary is a choreographer and filmmaker working in a variety of contexts and media, including large-scale site-specific works with cross-generational casts, and video installations.
