Marianne Faithfull: A Conversation with Amirreza Tayebi and Anna Bea
Performing & Visual Arts
An evening dedicated to one of the most distinctive voices and faces of the 1960s: Marianne Faithfull.
Join us at Iconic Images Gallery Chelsea on Thursday 26th June at 7pm for an evening dedicated to one of the most distinctive voices and faces of the 1960s: Marianne Faithfull.
In conversation with singer and writer Anna Bea, cultural historian and author Amirreza Tayebi will explore the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Faithfull — a trailblazing artist whose personal and creative journey charts the highs and lows of fame, feminism, addiction, and survival.
The talk will take inspiration from Tayebi’s acclaimed book A Very British Revolution, which examines the impact of the Swinging Sixties as a kaleidoscopic era of rebellion, reinvention and youth culture. Faithfull, both muse and maker, stood at the heart of this movement — an icon of its sound, style and subversion.
The evening forms part of our ongoing exhibition A View from the Bridge: A Photographic Celebration of Greater Kensington and Chelsea, which includes portraits of Marianne Faithfull by Gered Mankowitz, taken during her meteoric rise.
Date: Thursday 26th June
Time: 7:00 pm (doors at 6:30 pm)
Location: Iconic Images Gallery Chelsea, 402 King’s Road, London SW10
Part of the exhibition: A View from the Bridge (12 June — 2 August)
