Curator’s Tour – George Hallett: Home and Exile

Visit the exhibition George Hallett: Home and Exile at ERL Gallery with curator Dr Christine Eyene who will share stories about South African exile in Britain through the work of George Hallett and the artists featured in his images.

Born in Cape Town (South Africa), George Hallett (1942-2020) lived in exile in Europe from 1970 to the mid-1990s.

The exhibition focuses on the first part of his exile in England in the 1970s and 1980s, with photographs of visual artists, musicians and writers who have enriched the British art scene. It also shows Hallett’s graphic design work through his collaborations with the record company Ogun Records and Heinemann’s African Writers Series.
