Event overview
This pop-up event responds to the recent furor over the Barbican’s decision to remove Brett Bailey’s ‘Exhibit B’ after public protest. What does this say about acceptable spaces and uses for black people's bodies in 2014?
Sara Myers, journalist and activist, International Relations scholar Dr Robbie Shilliam and well-known author Courttia Newland explore the spaces allowable for black people’s cultural agency, the valuing of black heritage in educational curricula, the role of collective protest, and replicating vs learning from, the mistakes of the past. How can dialogues begin? What are the limits for cultural expression?
