Book Launch: Noni Stacey, ‘Leave to Remain’

Join author Noni Stacey and critic Roberta McGrath as they discuss Stacey’s new book Leave to Remain, A Snapshot of Brexit, which explores the role of art, photography, activism and satire on Britain leaving the European Union and reflects upon the conditions for the Brexit referendum.

Stacey interviewed world renowned artists and photographers, including Cornelia Parker, Wolfgang Tillmans, David Shrigley, Tacita Dean and Jeremy Deller, as well as the activists and satirists Cold War Steve and Led By Donkeys, who offer fascinating insights into their work and explore the ongoing consequences of this political cataclysm.
