Event details

This event is only open to NTU and Confetti HE students.

Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough at Nottingham Contemporary, a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in the current exhibition.

This season, Nottingham Contemporary are presenting the first major exhibition of artist Daniel Lind- Ramos (b. 1953, Puerto Rico) in a European institution, showcasing five of the artists’ monumental sculptural assemblages, including a newly commissioned work. The totemic sculptures incorporate objects found washed up on beaches and mangroves local to his hometown of Loiza, or gifted from friends, family and community members.

In this walkthrough, Alma Solarte-Tobon will explore the social and cultural value of trees in relation to Daniel Lind-Ramos' explorations of the importance of mangroves in Puerto Rican culture. Solarte-Tobon will guide us through a tour of the galleries, exploring the ways in which storytelling is fundamental to human experience and understanding, forming the basis for various qualitative methodologies like ethnography, narrative inquiry, and other analysis enquiries. Together we will explore how ‘tree stories' enable us to understand the value of trees.
