Medieval Mysticism, modern materiality, and the graphic novel: Gareth Brookes in conversation with Anthony Bale

Monday 11 November, 5pm, Old Kitchens, Girton College

Join graphic novelist, comics creator and printmaker Gareth Brookes (University of the Arts, London; author of The Dancing Plague) and Professor Anthony Bale (Cambridge) for a discussion of how Brookes has used medieval sources in his creative practice, including The Book of Margery Kempe, medieval saints’ lives, and accounts of dancing plagues.

This discussion is the inaugural event of the Medieval Ideas Creative Laboratory, an initiative led by Anthony Bale to explore how the creative arts might interact with medieval sources.
