Join us online as we investigate Bethany Williams' practice, which places both environmental justice and social responsibility at its core, led by Somerset House curator, Karishma Rafferty.

Alongside instructions for flag-making at home, the Q&A will offer exclusive insight into Williams' All Our Children commission for Somerset House and her ongoing collaboration with the Magpie Project, a charity based in Newham providing safety and support for mothers and under-fives suffering in insecure accommodation.
