Catherine Opie in conversation
6 Mar 2026 7-8pm
To celebrate the opening of Catherine Opie’s exhibition Catherine Opie: To Be Seen, join the world-renowned American artist in conversation with Gem Fletcher.
Over the past 30 years, Opie has explored and positioned the portrait in numerous contexts and visual formats. Conceptually rigorous and formally executed, her photographs make visible queer communities, mentors and collaborators, children, surfers, high school footballers, political crowds and Opie herself, through self-portraiture.
Through this livestreamed conversation, Opie will introduce the exhibition she has curated for the National Portrait Gallery, the first major display of her work in the UK.
