Meet the artist behind "A Correspondence"
Ligia Bouton, the artist behind
A Correspondence, will be in residence at the Museum between 10.30am and 11.30am to discuss her work on a series of collages in response to a letter written by Charlotte Brontë to her Belgian professor, Monsieur Constantin Heger. Her beautiful collages form part of
Charlotte Great and Small, our bicentenary exhibition for 2016, which was curated by novelist Tracy Chevalier.
Ligia Bouton was born in São Paolo, Brazil and spent her childhood in London. Her creative work combines scuplture with performance, digital video and photography to recreate other people's stories. Recent projects have been shown at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Guildhall Art Gallery in London, SITE Santa Fe, New Mexico Museum of Art, Philadelphia Art Alliance, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and Station Independent in New York. She is currently Associate Professor of Art and Art History at the University of New Mexico.
