The Monday Lectures are a series of weekly presentations by contemporary artists who work across disciplines. This is an opportunity to hear artists talk about the history of their practice and show examples of their work. The lecture series is coordinated as a part of the Sallis Benney Public Lecture Programme in collaboration with the Visual and Performing Arts Academic Programmes in the School of Arts and Communication.
