Wellcome Collection

Event info
Hold a black mirror carefully in the palm of your hand and scry, look, listen and think about who you are in relation to the world around you on this walk led by interdisciplinary artist Sheila Ghelani. Sketch like a landscape painter, look like a tourist. What do you see and what remains just off to the side - hidden, over-looked, forgotten, un-noticed? You will learn about the history and use of the 'Claude Glass' by artists, sight-seers and physicians-of-old whilst also considering what this small yet beguiling instrument might illuminate about our collective future.
