Belfast School of Art Lecturer and Artist, Dr Sandra Johnson and Ulster Museum Curator Anna Liesching reflect on the enduring legacy of German Artist Joseph Beuys in Northern Ireland.

They will explore the impact of his 1974 visit to the Art School as well as the deep affection he held for the island of Ireland and its culture.

The session takes place exactly fifty years to the day Beuys visited the then College of Art and Design on Tuesday November 19th 1974.
