Talk: Poor Artists with The White Pube

At a moment in which working as a professional artist is an increasingly unattainable luxury, Poor Artists investigates why so many artists try anyway.

Poor Artists follows aspiring artist Quest Talukdar as she embarks on a surreal journey into the creative industry, where she must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. Featuring dialogue from anonymous interviews with real people who have all had to ask themselves the same question – including a Turner Prize winner or two, a recluse, a Venice Biennale fraudster, a communist messiah, a ghost, and a literal knight – The White Pube tell the story of art like never before.

Access to the Museum's 'Matching Masterpieces' exhibition starts from 18:30. The talk starts at 19:00 with a Q&A session following.

The talk will take place in the Central Library (Level 1), in the Croydon Clocktower.
