Education pack for Grayson Perry’s The Vanity of Small Differences

Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry’s The Vanity of Small Differences is on display for the first time in Surrey between 27th Januray and 2nd June 2024 at the Lightbox in Woking.

It tells the story of Tim Rakewell, embarking on a journey of twenty-first century social mobility. Inspired by William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress, the six tapestries, each measuring 2m x 4m, portray many of the characters, incidents and objects Grayson Perry encountered on journeys through Sunderland, Tunbridge Wells and the Cotswolds for the Channel 4 TV series All in the Best Possible Taste.

For Schools – The Lightbox will be running a bespoke school session with this exhibition, please contact [email protected] for further information and costs, or find out about our other school sessions here.
