Lyrical One: Mother TongueIn Conversation: Rowan Lear & Tamara Dellutri
30 October - 30 October 2014
6pm | Free
Join us at Mission Gallery for a playful discussion considering ideas of nationalism, identity and voice – from accents to language to political struggle. Rowan and Tamara will weave a performative lecture from the yarn of personal anecdotes and the threads of thinkers including Lacan, Freud and Spivak. We’re wondering what does it mean to have a voice, to withdraw that voice, or to speak and not be heard?
Tamara is a lecturer in Contextual and Visual Studies at University of Wales, Trinity-Saint David and is also a trainee in Clinical Psychoanalysis at the Centre of Freudian Analysis and Research, London. Tamara’s work is concerned with the relationship between identity and language, particularly from a psychoanalytical perspective.
Rowan is a writer, artist and lecturer. Intrigued by the spaces between image and text, Rowan’s practice moves between academic query, creative response and performative statement, using old and new media, found images and objects, and language itself.
This year marks the centenary of Swansea’s prodigal son, Dylan Thomas’, birth. ‘Lyrical One’ is a collaborative project organised by Mission Gallery and Snug Projects which will take place throughout October 2014. It will comprise of a number of workshop and forum-based gatherings of both students, amateur and professional poets and musicians.
