Museums Sheffield – Picture the Poet

Museums Sheffield invites staff of Sheffield Hallam University to the launch of Picture the Poet – Wednesday 3 September, 6-8pm at Graves Gallery.

Picture the Poet brings together images of some of the most important poets of our times by equally well-known and respected photographers living today, providing an insight into the people who have crafted images for our imaginations out of words. The portraits cover a variety of themes including sense of place, love, loss, identity

and struggle and include over six decades of artistic production from the 1950s to the present day.

Join us as we welcome the Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Sandy Nairne, to officially open the exhibition.
