Join designer and collector Lisa Perry and visual artist Almond Zigmund for an engaging discussion moderated by Melanie Crader, Guild Hall Museum Director and Curator of Visual Arts. The conversation will highlight Perry’s vision for Onna House, a creative hub dedicated to championing and amplifying the voices of women artists, alongside Zigmund’s Guild Hall exhibition, Wading Room, an immersive installation that redefines spatial perception through bold geometric interventions.
Both Perry and Zigmund share a deep interest in abstraction and spatial storytelling, using design and structure to transform environments. They will explore how their work intersects, the role of women in contemporary art and design, and the power of thoughtfully curated spaces—whether a home, a gallery, or an installation—to shape perception and inspire dialogue.
