Autumn Art Lectures The Art of Liberation: Political Art and Allyship
The Autumn Art Lectures are here again and this year we are on the move. To coincide with Bristol 650, the year-long celebration that marks the anniversary of the 1373 royal charter, our new series will focus on some of the historical, cultural and conceptual spaces of Bristol.
Join us for a conversation around political art, allyship and the need for Black curators between Cleo Lake, former Lord Mayor of Bristol, and the Bristol based visual artist Oshii and to celebrate the launch of the exhibition The Art of Liberation: Before & After The Bristol Bus Boycott.
Please arrive at 6pm for an opportunity to have a look at the exhibition and have a glass of wine. The talk will start at 6.30pm.
Autumn Art Lectures
Art and the City: Bristol at 650, October-November 2023
This year’s lecture series will be an opportunity not just to talk about Bristol and its (in)visible histories, but also to step into the city itself. Events will be hosted in venues that span Bristol – from the Cathedral at its heart on College Green, to Spike Island in the midst of the river that defines the city’s cosmopolitan past and present. Our speakers include curators, artists, and academics, who together will take us on a journey through both familiar and unfamiliar aspects of the city’s history, including its place in the wider world.
