Curator's Talk: Between Worlds
Join Kathleen Soriano, curator of M.K. Čiurlionis: Between Worlds, for an inspiring introduction to the exhibition. Kathleen will explore the breadth of Čiurlionis’ artistic interests, with a focus on humankind’s relationship to the universe, and examine the themes and motifs that aligned his art with European Symbolism.
Čiurlionis left a profound imprint on Lithuanian culture and is among the country’s most loved and famous historical figures – his paintings are widely reproduced, and his music is often performed.
There will be a Q&A session at the end of the conversation. Got a question you’d like us to cover? Email learning@dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk in advance with ‘Curator’s Question’ in the subject line and we’ll do our best to answer as many as we can on the day.
