Born in Beirut to a Palestinian family, Mona Hatoum settled in London in 1975 after civil war broke out in Lebanon while she was on a visit to Britain. First known in the early 1980s for a series of performance and video pieces which used her own body as a site for exploring the fragility and strength of the human condition, this exhibition draws on thirty-five years of radical thinking combining her political and aesthetic concerns.
Clarrie Wallis, Curator of Modern and Contemporary British Art, leads this tour, before giving you an opportunity to explore the exhibition.
