Explore the connections between art and anthropology, touching on Deller’s new book ‘Art is Magic’.

This in-conversation event with Jeremy Deller will explore some of his public collaborations and the films which they have generated. Hosted by Rupert Cox from the Granda Centre for Visual Anthropology, it will highlight connections between art and anthropology and touch on his new book ‘Art is Magic’.

Secondly, Dr Katie Smith and some students from Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester will ask about the impact of Deller’s works on notions of British identity and the understanding of fundamental events in British social and political life such as the miners’ strike and Brexit.
