News — heron

Performance artist Nathania Hartley will be performing at the opening evening of 'Heron' on Thursday 1 May. Featuring spoken word, the performance responds directly to the letter 'The Herons' written by John Berger to Subcomandante Marcos and the themes within it. 

Broth Art is delighted to present 'Heron', a group exhibition exploring the heron as a metaphor for quiet observation, the clandestine and humanity’s bond with the natural world. Bringing together work by ten artists, - Catherine Ward, Fiona MacRae, Graham Lister, Justine Formentelli, Kathleen Cottell, Lauren Bryden, Lucy Gray, Oran Wishart, Patricia Paolozzi Cain and Sarah J. Stanley - the exhibition takes inspiration from the letter 'The Herons' written in 1997 by the renowned art critic and writer John Berger to Subcomandante Marcos, the leader of the Zapatista movement in Mexico.
