The Taotie Annual Ritual

Meet Gayle Chong Kwan, one of the UK’s leading contemporary artists, as she leads you through Compton Verney’s third annual ritual.

Gayle will explain the myths, legends, rituals, family and colonial histories that inspired her work The Taotie, and how her artistic practise since has continued to be influenced by the work she made with our collections at Compton Verney.

There’s also an opportunity to handle objects from Compton Verney’s ancient Chinese Bronze collection as part of the ritual.
