DEREK JARMAN: THE AUTHORISED BIOGRAPHY WITH TONY PEAKE | THURSDAY, 27 MARCH

Writer Tony Peake discusses his biography of late artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman, an unparalleled insight into Jarman's kaleidoscopic life, career and legacy, in conversation with Robert Diament

7:00pm-9:00pm Fort Road Hotel Bar

In researching this definitive biography Tony Peake, who knew Jarman in the last years of his life, was granted rarified access to Jarman's archives thanks to the cooperation of the late artist's family and friends. Featuring a new foreword by Olivia Laing and afterword by Jon Savage, the book covers Jarman's post-war childhood, his student years at The Slade and the white-hot legacy of his work as a designer, writer, painter, filmmaker, gardener and activist.
