An afternoon symposium dedicated to artist Peter Hujar, organised to coincide with the current exhibition 'Peter Hujar: Eyes Open in the Dark' at Raven Row. Each participant will present a short, informal presentation in response to a single image of the artist’s work.

Presentations may also focus on an image otherwise related to the exhibition by artists such as Paul Thek, Nan Goldin, or Greer Lankton, for example.

The rest of the event will be devoted to informal discussion and collaborative thinking. The event will be chaired by Louis Shankar and Will Ballantyne-Reid.
