In Conversation with Cansu Çakar and Anne Barlow

Join artist Can­su Çakar as she dis­cuss­es her minia­tur­ist-inspired painting.

Çakar's installation New Rarities was developed during two artist residencies in St Ives in 2024, during which she became interested in representations of seashells, imagining them as both homes and graves. This led to an exploration of the shifting cultural value of natural resources – including Tyrian purple and Cornish tin – and the exploitation of landscapes and people through their extraction.

Hear artist Cansu Çakar in conversation with Anne Barlow, Director, Tate St Ives on the opening day of her installation at Tate St Ives.

Entry to the talk is free with a ticket. Spaces are limited and so booking is advised.

New Rarities is commissioned by Tate St Ives, curated by Anne Barlow, Director, Tate St Ives. Supported by SAHA.
