A Biography of Daphne

Listen to artists Lauren Burrow and Nicholas Mangan as they discuss their works featured in the exhibition 'A Biography of Daphne'.

Daphne, the nymph who turned into a tree to evade the assault of the god Apollo, is a figure in, and of, crisis, but also a symbol of resistance and transformation.
