Byzantine Art & the Middle AgesFriday 26 June6–8pmPort IndependentAbout Art GossArt Goss is a fun and informal way to learn about art history. We talk honestly, there are no silly questions, and we take the dryness out of art history. No pressure if all this information is brand new — we believe art history is one of the best ways to learn about the world, humanity, and just how messy the people who painted some of the most famous works in history were.Hosted by artist and curator Liv Askwith, whose work explores hyper-femininity and draws deeply from the well of art history.What Happened Before the Renaissance?
