Dwelling – Why and How?

Dwelling – Why and How? goes behind the scenes of the Fitzrovia Chapel’s autumn exhibition, Dwelling. Chapel Artistic Director, Faye Hughes, and Programme Coordinator, Kate Thorogood, talk through the curation, the artistic choices, the exploration of beauty in a domestic setting which went towards the November show at the chapel. It is a free talk and everyone is welcome to attend and view the exhibition at the same time. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about the development of the exhibition.
