Join Permindar Kaur and Katharine Stout in conversation as we mark the publication of Nothing is Fixed, a detailed exploration into Kaur’s current solo exhibition at John Hansard Gallery.
As well as discussing the exhibition itself, the conversation will cover Kaur’s work more widely, along with its broader context. The event will be chaired by John Hansard Gallery Senior Curator, Ros Carter, and followed by an audience Q&A, book signing, and a chance to explore the show before it closes later that day.
Nothing is Fixed has been published by John Hansard Gallery and features contributions from Katharine Stout, Dorothy Price, and the Gallery’s Nadia Thondrayen and Ros Carter. The book opens up new conversations around Kaur’s practice and her show of the same title. Themes of identity, home, belonging, care and safety run through the exhibition, with the work feeling especially relevant in the current socio-political landscape.
Kaur’s work speaks to a wide section of society; people in transit or who migrate to make either temporary or permanent homes. Nothing is Fixed focuses on the intersectionality of identity; how society, family and education inform unique combinations of discrimination and privilege. Through these explorations, Kaur connects materials and sculpture to broader societal conversations.
