To the Lighthouse, Art, and Freedom of Movement. Sat. 6 Jan. 2024

Virginia Woolf Season IV: Woolf and Freedom. Live online.

Lecture 5. To the Lighthouse (1927), Art and Freedom of Movement with artist and writer Kabe Wilson.

Part art history documentary, part archival quest, Kabe Wilson's new work tells the story about how his interest in a Vanessa Bell painting at Charleston led to his own painting - an homage to Bell's - becoming the cover image of a new edition of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse.

In this lecture Kabe will consider the question of freedom in relation to the novel by looking back at a series of different journeys made by Woolf's characters in To the Lighthouse and her other novels, connecting them to journeys made by Woolf and Bell in their own lives, and the recent journeys Kabe made or attempted to make as he tried to solve a mystery about Bell's original cover artwork.
