Tuesday 1 May
–
6pm
Admission free
Illustrator Margaret Anne Suggs will chat with legendary author Tomi
Ungerer about his life's adventures. With all that's going on in the world
at the moment, you'll be inspired to hear Tomi’s views on spreading ideas of
identity, justice and coexistence in his children's books.
The talk will be followed by the Irish premiere screening of Far Out Isn't
Far Enough : The Tomi Ungerer Story. The documentary depicts Ungerer's
wild, lifelong adventure of testing societal boundaries through his use
of subversive art. The film combines traditional documentary storytelling
with original animation from over 70 years worth of art from the renegade
children's book author and illustrator.
Books by Ungerer
will be on sale from 5.30pm.
