'Drawing the Unspeakable' is an exhibition that asks 'what can drawing do that words cannot'.
On display at the Towner Eastbourne during 2024-25, it was born out of a number of images shared by artist and writer Liza Dimbleby and her father, the broadcaster David Dimbleby during lockdown. This film asks whether drawing affords us a different way of communicating: can it be a universal language, and if so, what is its impact?
The medium of drawing itself isn’t defined, and you can take from it what you need. It’s a more forgiving, more yielding language—a more holding one than a verbal one."
