Revolution: Russian Art 1917–1932
At this event for blind and visually impaired visitors, artist educators will lead an audio-described tour of the exhibition, followed by refreshments and a handling session.
Join us for an audio-described tour of this far-ranging exhibition to explore the artistic landscape of post-Revolutionary Russia, encompassing Kandinsky’s boldly innovative compositions, the dynamic abstractions of Malevich and the Suprematists, and the emergence of Socialist Realism.
In the following handling session, we will explore and discuss the range of mediums artists utilised to capture both the idealistic aspirations and the harsh reality of the Revolution and its aftermath.
This event includes refreshments, and volunteer support is provided.
