If you would like to know more about the making and meaning of Gothic colour, then come along to Illuminating the Past<\/em>, a one-day (and totally free!) cultural engagement event. On Thursday 16 June 2016<\/strong>, we have planned an interactive workshop and a lively series of talks by graduate students and early career scholars to showcase exciting new approaches to understanding the Gothic imagination. Illuminating the Past<\/em> will take place at the Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr<\/strong>, a twelfth-century pilgrims’ residence located in the centre of historic Canterbury. To enhance the atmosphere of this special occasion, we are delighted that the choir of the University of Kent Minerva voices (@Minerva_Voices<\/a>) will offer live performances of music from the Gothic era.<\/p>\n
