Talk – Jenny Balfour Paul, A Passage through Indigo
68 Okehampton Street
Exeter
Jenny, an Honorary Research Fellow of the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter, is a writer, artist, traveller and lecturer. She has been working with indigo for over 20 years, and has written several books on the subject. Her latest book, ‘Deeper than Indigo’, traces the life of Thomas Machell, a forgotten explorer from the 19th century, and is a mixture of biography, memoir, detective story, travelogue and history within an enthralling love story.
