9-10 January 2017

UWE and the RWA present a diverse 2-Day multi-disciplinary conference that explores the themes, imagery, context and life of Angela Carter – one of the most important writers of the twentieth century.
The event, which takes place at the RWA and UWE’s City Campus at Arnolfini, will create a dialogue between practising artists, curators, writers, academics and students from disciplines including the visual arts, literature, history, film and media studies. This international conference which has attracted leading scholars from around the world, aims to give new insights into the strange and pyrotechnic worlds of Angela Carter and pay tribute to her visual imagination, as well re-assessing her impact and importance for the twenty-first century.
