Talk

Panel Discussion: Of Bitterness, Doubt and Neglect: Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska, Kettle’s Yard and History’s Shadows

1 October 2025
6.30-8pm
£12

Explore the life and work of Polish-born writer Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska (1872-1925).

In an essay about Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska, Jim Ede admitted his difficulty representing the story of her life when writing his biography of her partner, collection artist Henri Gaudier-Brzeska– whose works formed the start of Ede’s collection and make up a large part of the permanent displays at Kettle’s Yard today.

Join us for a panel discussion with Dr Inga Fraser, Senior Curator of the House and Collection, Juliette Bretan, writer and researcher, Patricia Gillies, Senior Lecturer at the University of Essex, and Ania Ready, Polish-British photographic artist.
