With Spellbound curators Dr Sophie Page (UCL) and Marina Wallace (Artakt)
Magic mirrors, unicorn horns, concealed corsets and pierced hearts. This lecture explores the extraordinary visual culture of magic over a thousand years, from medieval angels and demons to the persecution of witches and magical objects concealed in modern homes. This fascinating talk concludes with a discussion of the relationship between contemporary art and magical thinking.
