Exhibition
Kelly Large: To See More Brightly
18 Apr-31 May 2026
Southwark Park Galleries
London SE16 2UA
Artist Kelly Large presents an artist-curated exhibition and public programme developed from ongoing research examining charisma as a social phenomenon. Featuring sculptural works by Carle Gent and Flora Parrott, Large explores the Anchorite tradition: a Mediaeval practice of both extreme control and form of resistance in which charismatic mystics, mostly women known as anchoresses, were voluntarily and permanently enclosed in ‘anchorholds’.
