The Two Roberts: Damian Barr in conversation with Alice Strang

Join us for a very special “in conversation” celebrating Scottish art and LGBTQ+ history as Damian Barr, award-winning writer, broadcaster and journalist, and Alice Strang, expert art historian, curator and auctioneer, talk about Damian’s beautifully researched and stunningly reimagined novel, The Two Roberts. Inspired by the real and wild lives of working-class Ayrshire boys, Bobby MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun, the novel tells the profoundly moving story of the devotion and obsessions of two artists, lovers and outsiders from their meeting at Glasgow School of Art in 1933 to wartime London.
