The opening will include a tour led by festival curator Alejandro Acin.
After the tour please walk over to Georgian House Museum for a tour of 'The House is a Body' by Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah, a newly commissioned body of work that responds to the histories of the house. The tour will begin at 3pm.
Venues:
- Bristol Museum & Art Gallery (1-2.30pm) - Queens Rd, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1RL

The two venues are a 5 minute walk apart. We encourage you to attend both openings.
