Stuart Hall and Rivington Place
The Stuart Hall Library reading group is open to everyone, whether you are in formal education, academia, engaged in artistic or curatorial practice, or have a general interest.
Through texts and film clips we hope to stimulate discussion and debate relating to issues such as art, cultural identity, politics, literature and philosophy, but with an interdisciplinary focus.
This month's reading group at the Stuart Hall Library will take place on Thursday 9th May from 6:30 to 8pm.
Race, Art and Diaspora
We will be screening an extract from, and discussing Personally Speaking: A Long Conversation with Stuart Hall, Race, Art and Diaspora in which Stuart Hall explains the origins of his interest in black and diaspora art. Hall also discusses his involvement with Autograph ABP and Iniva.
Space in the library is limited. To book a place, email us.
