Luminary Lecture Series
The Luminary Lecture Series at Liverpool School of Art and Design presents the work of leading practitioners in art and design.
The lecture series provides a valuable contribution to discourses on art and design and an opportunity to learn more about the work of leading artists and designers and the far-reaching impact of their practice.
These lectures are open to staff and students as well as members of the public that usually includes people from LJMU partner organisations such as Tate Liverpool, Liverpool Biennial, Bluecoat and FACT.
You'll find filmed documentation for most of the lectures via the links below.
