On Saturday 4 March at 2pm, prompted by the exhibition Bernat Klein: Design in Colour showing at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, its curator Lisa Mason and Dr. Anna Nyburg will explore the work of two revolutionary émigré textile designers, Bernat Klein and Tibor Reich, who both arrived in the UK as refugees fleeing Nazi Europe and went on to revolutionise British design. This live event also features an exclusive screening of the 2017 documentary film, Refuge Britain: Stories of Émigré Designers.
