Derby QUAD Parto Sem Dor / Notes on Portuguese-ness Panel & Talk

Join Derby QUAD for two linked events marking the launch of Rita Pena’s exhibition, Parto Sem Dor / Notes on Portuguese-ness. A free ticket on this page secures a place in both sessions, which take place in Studio 1 at QUAD.

The first session is an exhibition talk led by art historian Mark Rawlinson, who explores how photography, collaboration and artistic making can help people question inherited stories, family memory and ideas of belonging. The second session is a panel discussion with Rita Pena and artists involved in the collaborative project, opening up conversation around identity, memory, cultural histories and artistic practice.

Together, the events offer a chance to hear directly from the artists and speakers behind the exhibition and to think about how shared creativity can change the ways we understand ourselves and others.
