Artists in Conversation: Rebecca Chesney

Meet artists making exciting work across a range of media in person in the Jack Hylton Room, Great Hall Complex.

In partnership with Lancaster University School of Arts For our autumn 2025 season, we’re rethinking our free artist talk programme to place a greater emphasis on dialogue.

Artists making exciting work across a range of media will be joined by researchers or those working in relevant fields to discuss the ideas, themes and questions driving their work. There will be plenty of opportunity for the audience to join in the conversation and connect with artists working in our region and beyond.

First up is Rebecca Chesney, whose work is concerned with how we perceive land: how we romanticise, translate and define it. She looks at how politics, ownership, and commercial value all influence our surroundings, investigates the impact of human activities on nature, and considers how our understanding is fed by a confused mix of truth and fiction. Her works take the form of installations, interventions, habitat creation, drawings, maps and walks.
