Esteemed artist and academic Virginia MacKenny discusses Waymarker – A Painter’s Progress with reflections on ‘A Pilgrim’s Guide to Santiago de Compostela’ (c1139) as part of GIPCA’s Great Texts series, on Tuesday 23 April. Carrying the prayers and dedications of other environmentally concerned artists and individuals, she dedicated her walk to ‘treading lightly’ on the planet, recording both the external and internal topography of her journey in watercolour. An exhibition, Waymarker included the 36 postcard-sized artworks made along the way. In this lecture, MacKenny shares some of the historical landmarks on the journey and insights gained on the route. Refreshments will be served from 17:00; no booking is necessary. For more information on the Great Texts series, please contact 021 480 7156 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
