In this talk, Matt will discuss a recent exhibition "Tattoo: British Tattoo Art Revealed". Spanning 400 years from the 17th century to the present day, the exhibition includes 400 objects including photographs; drawings; paintings; prints; commissioned sculpture; tattoo tools; and several pieces of preserved human skin. As the most intimate of all art forms, the talk argues that the history of tattooing becomes a proxy through which broader art and cultural histories of Britain can be read, with insights into class, gender, empire, anxiety, nationalism, politics, religion and more.
