Joseph Beuys and the Belfast School of Art

The enduring legacy of German artist Joseph Beuys in Northern Ireland.

Belfast School of Art Lecturer and Artist, Dr Sandra Johnson and Ulster Museum Curator Anna Liesching reflect on the enduring legacy of German artist Joseph Beuys in Northern Ireland.

They will explore the impact of his 1974 visit to the Belfast School of Art as well as the deep affection he held for the island of Ireland and its culture. The session takes place exactly fifty years to the day Beuys visited the then College of Art and Design.

To mark the 175th anniversary of the Belfast School of Art, Ulster University hosts a programme of exhibitions, workshops and lectures. Find out more here.
