About this event

Dr Maryam Ohadi-Hamadani draws on her recent research exploring Black Power and anticolonial solidarity movements and their connections to art, film, independent publishing, and media in 1960s-70s Britain and the Caribbean. In this talk she traces some of the many networks of Black artists and activists extending across the UK into Scotland and beyond, including the London-based British Black Panthers and the Caribbean Artists Movement, and showcases examples of work by artists like sculptor Donald Locke (Guyana), filmmaker and photographer Horace Ové (Trinidad), and writer Kamau Brathwaite (Barbados).
