Reclaiming Beauty
Event description
Beauty isn't only found in perfection - sometimes cracks, chaos and wrinkles can be perfectly beautiful. In this meetup, John explores the landscape of Beauty as it currently exists in a consumer society, and the way in which Beauty could be recontextualised to change not just people’s appreciation of art but of themselves.
John's talk will challenge the beliefs we have of who we are, give us a new perspective on society and insight on identifying beauty within ourselves. It will inspire us to seek true beauty, capture it and create it in our art and journey.
