The unique exhibition, Art Everywhere, has transformed thousands of poster sites and billboards into iconic artworks from the national collection.

Exeter’s iconic painting, Portrait of an African , is included in the exhibition. Previously identified as Olaudah Equiano but probably Ignatius Sancho, and attributed to Allan Ramsay (1713-1784), Portrait of an African is now on display in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum.

The panel includes Jean Harrington of Kings College, London and Professor Sara Rankin of Imperial College, London, co-creator of the exhibition. The conversation will be chaired by John Bryant, Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter, and is supported by Exeter Café Scientifique.
