Slow Time: a research presentation

Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) is an evolving, radical visual arts organisation dedicated to developing an artistic programme that reflects on the social and political impact of globalisation.With the Stuart Hall Library acting as a critical and creative hub for our work, we collaborate with artists, curators, researchers and cultural producers to challenge conventional notions of diversity and difference. We engage a wide audience, particularly young people, in discourse and debate on issues surrounding the politics of race, class and gender.Through our programme we work predominantly with British-born and British-based visual artists of African and Asian descent supporting them at different stages in their careers. We offer residencies, commission new work and promote existing practices enabling artistic ambition and development.

A talk led by Future Collect curatorial trainee Hollie Douglas on present research developed over her traineership

Stuart Hall Library (Iniva)

Join Future Collect curatorial trainee Hollie Douglas as she presents on research developed over her traineeship with iniva and Towner Eastbourne.Slow Time (working title) is a research project inspired by initial investigations into memory, nostalgia and the archive. It has developed through conversations with artists to look at imagination and dreaming as an embodiment and expression of resistance and freedom. Slow time proposes an inconsistent way of looking at time, which permits a way of thinking about time that allows for dreams, radical imagination and memory to be nurtured.Hollie’s research talk will include a presentation of her ideas and then an opportunity to explore these themes further in open discussion with attendees. The research looks at weaving together artistic practices that she has encountered and drawing from theories such as ‘Black radical imagination’ and ‘Black utopia’.This talk is supported by funding from Freelands Foundation. Accessibility If you have any access requirements, please email us in advance at info@iniva.org and we will do our best to accommodateBiographyHollie Douglas is a curatorial trainee currently working at the Towner Gallery Eastbourne, on Future Collect, an iniva project which is looking at changing the way institutions develop collections in the future. Her work is largely concerned with the representation of artists of colour in exhibitions and collections and how curatorial processes and activism can change this and embedding the narratives of overlooked artists of colour into art history. Hollie is also currently studying an MA in Material and Visual Culture at University College London.I﻿mage credit: ©Hollie Douglas
