We will be holding an on-line conversation between Black and Indigenous artists based in Latin America and in the United Kingdom who have been staking out new territory in the art world, widening the discussion about questions of racism and racial difference in the domain of art and culture. Their work disrupts racist and colonial legacies, images and tropes that still pervade contemporary art, literature and culture in general in Latin America and the UK. The conversation will explore differences and similarities in the artists\u2019 experiences in these very different cultural contexts, which nevertheless share deep roots in colonial histories.<\/p>\n

The conversation will be held in English. There will be a Q&A with the audience to follow.<\/p>\n

Date\/time: Wednesday 11 November 2020, 16:00 (GMT)<\/strong><\/p>\n
