Melbourne Rare Book Week

Artist EV Ratnam began keeping travel diaries in 1995, and has since developed a keen interest in artists and writers whose travels have informed their work. As well as discussing some of these, she will also present her own travel diaries, and reflect on the ways in which, through memory and imagination, they are linked to the imagery in her prints, drawings, and artist books. At the end of the session, there will be an opportunity to view her diaries close – up, and engage in a dialogue on travel, writing and art.
