Freud's Afternoon Session – Senon Williams im Freud Museum London

How does Sigmund Freud continue to influence the creation of contemporary art? Join artists Senon Williams and Holly Stevenson in conversation with curator Georgia Powell on the subject of the continued influence of Sigmund Freud on contemporary artistic practices. This talk traces Freud’s enduring influence beyond Surrealism into contemporary art.

Moving through themes of displacement, objecthood, and psychological space, it considers how artists reveal what lies beneath the surface, transforming personal and collective histories into powerful visual language. Set within Freud’s own home, the talk invites audiences to reflect on the unconscious not as theory, but as a living, evolving presence in art.
