Natalie Lawrence: Enchanted Creatures

What are the monsters that lurk in the shadows, and where do they come from? Natalie Lawerence explores the myths, beasts, and creatures of our imagination: from hydras to cyborgs, and what this monstrous menagerie reveals about us.

Delve into 15,000 years of imaginary beasts in this fascinating exploration of the human mind, and the monsters we conjure. Lawrence takes us on a tour that travels from prehistoric caves to the deep-sea, from the modern creature-feature to the tales told around a camp-fire.

Combining gripping storytelling with meticulous research, this event promises to enchant and capture.
