On the centenary of Surrealism, Forbidden Territories takes a journey through imagined universes, dreamlike scenes and bizarre features, looking at how Surreal ideas can turn landscape into a metaphor for the unconscious, fuse the bodily with the botanical, and provide a means to express political anxieties, gender constraints and freedoms. Touring from The Hepworth Wakefield, Agar’s work is exhibited alongside artists included Salvador Dalí, Lee Miller, Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington and Ithell Colquhoun.
