Photographed across four years and four continents, The Canary and The Hammer details our reverence for gold and its role in humanity’s ruthless pursuit of progress. Through a mix of image, text and archival material, the third book by British artist Lisa Barnard provides a fascinating insight into the troubled history of gold and the complex ways it intersects with the global economy.

Join us on Saturday 31 August for a discussion with the artist and the chance to purchase a signed copy of The Canary and The Hammer.
