About the event
At the event, Maggie Humm will offer a fresh portrait of the Bloomsbury Group by showing a curated selection of the thousands of photographs that shows them in a setting of domestic intimacy. Scenes include the pastimes, children, clothes, houses, servants, pets, and holidays of the group.
According to Hatchard’s: “Several photographs are blurred as if taken in a hurried moment of time, and unguarded close-ups reflect complex personal relationships – revealing them to be more than simply documents; they are testimonies of relationships, friendships, and the significance of empathetic lives.”
