In the fourth of a series of talks organised by Calvert 22 and The Courtauld Institute of Art Research Forum, a panel will look at themes raised by the exhibition Between Heaven & Earth, Contemporary art from the Centre of Asia. Presenting the work of 23 artists, this show evidences and explores the emergence of vital, critical, self-confident contemporary art from a region that has been vastly misunderstood and misrepresented and asks what such works can tell us about the cultural imperatives of these nations and their position within a global context.

Contributors include: David Elliott (curator), Aliya de Tiesenhausen (historian of art), Almagul Menlibayeva (artist), and Sarah Wilson (The Courtauld Institute of Art)

The discussion will be followed by a drinks reception

Open to all free admission. Due to limited space this is on first-come first-served basis. Please arrive early

Calvert 22 will remain open until 9.00pm that evening and visitors are encouraged to come to see the exhibition either before or after the talk.
