A pair of former Chester University students and internationally renowned artists will present the final lecture in the latest series of free talks.

The Singh Twins, Amrit and Rabindra Kaur, known for their distinctive and symbolic style, will return to the University of Chester on 3 April to discuss their own work, 'Artistic Responses to Empire and Colonialism and its Legacies'.

The twins are also published illustrators, writers, filmmakers and designers.

They have received many awards, including an MBE each in 2011 and honorary doctorates from the University of Chester in 2015, for their contribution to British art.

The duo has exhibited their work across the globe from Britain and Continental Europe through to India and North America.

Tim Grady, professor of modern European history, said: "The lecture series has brought hundreds of people to the University to hear the fascinating insights of our speakers.

 "We're looking forward to welcoming The Singh Twins next month, who began their careers as students at the University of Chester, meaning this talk will be something of a homecoming.

"Their talk is sure to conclude the 2024-25 series on an extremely high note."

The event will take place from 6pm to 7.15pm, at the school of education in Exton Park.
