Artist Talk

Gherdai Hassell

Earlier this year Gherdai Hassell held an Artist Talk at Bermuda National Gallery in partnership with the Department of Culture to celebrate the opening of her first solo exhibition, I Am Because You Are.  

In the talk, which has since accumulated over 1,500 views on social media, Gherdai eloquently took the audience through her journey from cutting out paper dolls as a child – a forerunner to her Alibi series she realises in hindsight – to pursuing (and relinquishing) a law degree before moving to China, returning to art and realizing that it is her true calling.
