About the exhibition
Another Chance Encounter
Another Chance Encounter takes inspiration from the Kettle’s Yard house, with Himid’s paintings featuring motifs from the collection, and Himid and Stawarska’s collaborative installation originating from correspondence between the artist Nina Hamnett and the writer Sophie Gaudier-Brzeska.
Access
Please note that the cottages are not wheelchair accessible. The ground floor galleries and lower extension are wheelchair accessible.
