Set within the context of Hondartza Fraga’s solo exhibition, Not for Navigation, please join us for an evening of conversation relating to her practice and a last chance opportunity to view the exhibition before it closes on 24th February.

Dr. Teresa Anderson (Director of Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre) and Mary Doyle (co-director Drawing Room, London) will lead the event examining key themes within Hondartza’s work and concluding with an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.

She has a first degree in Physics, a PhD in Electrical Engineering and also an MA in Fine Art.
