The annual Robin Evans Lecture 2026: Suzi Hall

Drawing is that evocative and precise practice that allows us to sense and make sense of the world around us. In so doing we depict a set of relations in space and time, partly to unpack a story for ourselves and partly to share this story with others. In being given the opportunity to engage with Robin Evans’ work I explore the practice of drawing the social world. I focus on the complex conditions of migration and on drawing the relations of people, place and power. The practices I have engaged in with collaborators surface the long histories of global domination that shape migration in the UK. I hope they also retrieve the all-too-reductive figure of the migrant to an active participant in shaping our everyday cultural life.
