Katy Hessel Presents

Film Screening and Discussion

Hay Festival 2026, 

Celebrate Art Day at Hay Festival with art historian Katy Hessel, as she shows how art can best be represented on film. Watch Hessel’s curated film before hearing her illuminating take in an in-depth discussion connecting the work’s themes to wider questions of art, storytelling and whose voices shape cultural history. Part screening, part live essay, the broadcaster and author of The Story of Art without Men offers a reflective and richly contextual experience for curious, art-loving minds.
