Join artist David Blandy for a free talk exploring how museum objects and local landscapes inspired his new film COMMONS

In this insightful talk, acclaimed artist David Blandy will share the ideas and inspirations behind Commons, his new film currently on show at The Amelia. The work explores themes of shared landscapes, memory, and mythology, drawing on the ancient woodland and striking rock formations of Tunbridge Wells Common.

David will reflect on his creative process and the significance of objects from The Amelia's heritage collection that helped shape the film's narrative. He will also explore how these objects, alongside the natural environment, inform storytelling, identity, and our connection to place. FREE, booking essential.
