Black female artists made some of the most essential contributions to the Western Canon in the 20th Century - so why is it that their work has not been recognised? And how can we start acknowledging their contributions in the world today?

Join Dr. Sheree Mack for her incredible lecture that aims to re-situate the Women of the Blk Art Group and the Black British Art Movement as front and centre in the evolution of Black British Art, exploring how these artists created not just a movement but also unique spaces and opportunities for Black artists in Britain to show their work to the British public on their own terms.

Dismissed as political art or identity politics, Black art has not yet received its full aesthetic criticism or appreciation, let alone the women who helped forge it. Sheree will be delving into the repertoire of work from the likes of Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid and Claudette Johnson and many more, aiming to highlight their role in shaping the Western Canon, and their ever-lasting legacy to this day.
