Iniva and the Stuart Hall Foundation are delighted to announce that Alicja Rogalska has been awarded the third Stuart Hall Library Artist’s Residency, a funded opportunity that builds on Professor Stuart Hall’s unique contribution to intellectual and cultural life.

Selected through a hugely popular open call, Alicja Rogalska will be in residence at Iniva’s Stuart Hall Library from April to July 2019. Rogalska’s proposed research project explores Stuart Hall’s ideas of citizenship through his writings on classification as fundamental to human culture and, simultaneously, as a system of power. The research will situate Stuart Hall’s work within the contemporary context of immigration law and global citizenship discourse utilising the Stuart Hall Library, itself, as a site of classification.

The Stuart Hall Library Artist’s Residency is an annual funded opportunity established in partnership between Iniva and the Stuart Hall Foundation. Building on the distinct connections between both organisations, the three-month residency allows a visual artist the space to think about some of the key themes related to the work of Iniva and the Foundation, including the language of the diaspora, culture, identity and archiving.
