Tracey Emin in Her Own Words

Step inside the world of Tracey Emin — not through headlines or interpretations, but through her own voice.

Join Anna McNay (art writer, editor and curator) for an intimate and thought-provoking exploration of one of Britain’s most iconic contemporary artists. Drawing on Emin’s letters, interviews, writings and personal reflections, this session moves beyond the usual narratives to uncover the ideas, experiences and intentions that shape her work.

Emin’s art is often discussed through the lens of gender, autobiography and controversy — but what happens when we let her speak for herself? This talk offers a more nuanced perspective, building a richer understanding of her practice, her identity and her artistic voice.
