How and why does classical antiquity live on in us and in our worlds?
Join us online for poetry readings by Lesley Saunders and Josephine Balmer, framed by the evocative surroundings of our gallery of classical casts.
Their performance responds to the idea expressed by the classical scholar Edmund Richardson that ‘we work with fragments, we work with dreams, we work with the longing for lost texts to be discovered, for every broken thing to be repaired…’

Harold Offeh’s Reading the Realness is a spoken-word performance based around a conversation that occurred on the American talk show The Real involving activist Rachel Dolezal.
