In this Morley Gallery exhibition event, featured artist Ian Rawlinson shows one of his recent films, and talks about his work and the connections that drew him back to his hometown.

His work explores aspects of change, identity and transformation, and his recent projects draw upon ideas of place and memory and he has produced a series of exhibitions and short films inspired by transitional areas of Cambridge. His new solo exhibition, a collaboration with writer and poet Grahame Davies, takes place in September 2021.

The talk accompanies What We Do : an exhibition of work by printmaking and bookbinding staff at Morley College.
