In After Darwin: Contemporary Expressions, major artists and writers exhibit newly-commissioned and existing work, inspired by Charles Darwin's book, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Their pieces explore Darwin's theory that expressing emotion is not unique to humans, but is shared with animals.
The exhibition features work by Gautier Deblonde, Jeremy Deller and Matthew Killip in collaboration with Professor Richard Wiseman, Tina Gonsalves, Mark Haddon, Ruth Padel, Diana Thater and Bill Viola.
Entrance to the exhibition is free.
