Stoke Newington Literary Festival: John Berger: Ways of Seeing

Talk by Andrea Luka Zimmerman on the collaboration with John Berger on her film Taskafa, Stories of the street. Born in Stoke Newington in 1926, John Berger was one of the most influential artists, critics and writers of his generation. Ways of Seeing changed our understanding of art and made us question everything from the public ownership of art to the male gaze. Tom Overton, who curated Berger’s archive at the British Library and is working on his biography, discusses his life and work with Andrea Luka Zimmerman, who worked with Berger on her film Estate, A Reverie, based in Haggerston
