About
Discuss art, life, culture and creativity at the monthly Members Book Club. The titles on the reading list for June to October 2024 connect to ideas in the exhibition ‘Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses’.
Phosphorescence (2020) by Julia Baird
The national bestseller, Phosphorescence is a reflective exploration of finding wonder and resilience in life’s challenges. Baird draws upon personal experiences and interviews with scientists, philosophers and artists to delve into topics such as the beauty of nature, the power of community, and the importance of embracing moments of joy amidst adversity to find our own inner light to ward off the darkness.
Ticket includes light refreshments. Members receive 20% off current and past Book Club titles from the QAGOMA Store.
