When Art meets Animals

I regularly give talks on art history and visual culture, having spoken at leading institutions including The National Gallery, Tate, The British Library, and The Wellcome Collection. My subjects range from visual culture to art and animals, with audiences spanning specialist groups to children and families. In 2024, I returned to The National Gallery as part of their summer workshops around Henri Rousseau’s Surprised! (Tiger in a Tropical Storm), leading interactive sessions for families as well as lectures for adult audiences.

I particularly enjoy exploring zeitgeist themes and cultural intersections — where disciplines meet, overlap, or even clash. I’m drawn to subjects where the everyday meets high art, or where animal theory connects with artistic representation, sparking fresh conversations that resonate widely.
