Annual Drecki Lecture: The Entangled Forest
7th May 2024, 6pm – 7pm
Royal Albert Memorial Museum
Join us for the South West Academy’s annual Drecki Lecture at RAMM for an innovative exploration combining academic research with graphic novels.
Acclaimed artist and Honorary Academician John Hurford joins socio-cultural anthropologist Dr Ivan Tacey as they discuss their experiences with the Batek, an indigenous community in Malaysia. Taken seriously, graphic novels can communicate the Batek’s current predicaments, world view and relations with spirits and outsiders with a wider public.
The Drecki Lecture Series is named honour of of Zbigniew Drecki, who nurtured the South West Academy in its early years. The lectures have ranged from personal accounts given by distinguished artists to fascinating journeys in art and philosophy, and even a dramatic presentation.
