- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In art and words, mother and son, artist and writer, Delaine Le Bas and Damian Le Bas (jr) come together to reflect on shared themes that run through their work across visual art, writing, and lived experience. Drawing on Romani history and culture, as well as broader questions of power, marginalisation, survival, and memory, they will discuss how materials, stories, and landscapes carry the traces of human conflict and endurance. 

This event, which forms part of a series of art-themed events, a partnership between EA Festival, Essex Book Festival and The Minories, is a rare opportunity to hear two internationally acclaimed artists in dialogue, reflecting on inheritance, identity, and the role of art and language in navigating a world shaped by history, violence, and renewal. Expect a thought-provoking evening that moves between the personal and the universal, rooted in deep cultural knowledge.
