The next Forum event is Dolls, Dreams and Demons with Morris Nitsun:

10.00am-12.30pm on Saturday 28 May 2022, online only via Zoom. 

Through paintings of vintage dolls, Morris Nitsun will explore the significance of dolls in child development. Based on a series of live presentations on this theme, using facilitated groups for discussion, valuable insights into “the discourse of childhood” emerged. The variation in people’s responses to the images highlighted the power of projection and the narratives of people’s own childhoods. The themes touch on individual child development, gender, family dynamics, inter-generational history, and the social unconscious.
 
Morris Nitsun will show his paintings in a slide presentation, with an accompanying narrative. The audience will have an opportunity to respond and associate to the work.
