Unexpected Views: Andrea Luka Zimmerman on Caravaggio | National Gallery

Unexpected views are monthly conversations between our curators and some of the most important cultural practitioners of today.

Discussions take place in front of a selected masterpiece, exploring its relevance to the artist’s work, or more broadly to current social and cultural issues.

By allowing for new discussions of the Old Masters, the series aims for critical, counter-intuitive and joyful approaches to our collection, which reflect the breadth of contemporary artistic practice.

Zimmerman discusses Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus in order to explore strategic amnesia of mutuality and non binary ways of being, especially within marginalised working class contexts.
