Description

We're joined by senior historian for the blue plaques scheme Howard Spencer and writer and performer Mark Farrelly to explore the life and legacy of filmmaker, artist and activist Derek Jarman, who died 30 years ago and was commemorated by a London blue plaque in 2019.

Join us to discover the story of Jarman's career, his role as a gay rights activist and the new touring show that has been created to document his colourful life.
