Dora Maar: Out of the Shadow

In this LIVE episode from our 100th Dash Café
(January 2020) we delve into the life and legacy of French
Surrealist icon Dora Maar.


The photographer and artist’s radical work strikingly depicts the
anxieties of interwar Europe and the internal horrors of the
mind. Yet Maar was often overlooked, her role as Picasso’s
lover and ‘weeping woman’ dominating world view, until now.


In January 2020 a major exhibition of her work travelled from the
Centre Pompidou to the Tate
Modern, introducing many to her work for the first time.


In this episode Dash Arts Artistic
Director Josephine Burton talks to the
exhibition's curators Damarice
Amao and Karolina
Lewandowska, along with discussion and performances
from poet Victoria Adukwei
Bulley and Finnish
musician Marouf Majidi.
