Andrew Nairne, Director of Kettle's Yard

Aaron Syposz chats to Andrew Nairne, director of the Kettle's Yard art gallery here in Cambridge. A new exhibition from the Zimbabwean artist Portia Zvavahera has just started, called "Zwakazarura" (it translates into English as "revelations"). Aaron talks to Andrew about why the artist chose to have the exhibition title in her native language, Shona, the way in which the exhibition explores dreams and the subconscious, and plenty more besides. There's also time to dive behind the scenes into how galleries like Kettle's Yard go about securing exhibitions, and about the challenges that publicly funded galleries in the UK are currently facing.
