Meandering Networks, Mapping Nations
Black Curators Collective (BCC) is facilitating a two-day gathering as part of the 2021 GI Events Programme on Thursday 17th - Friday 18th June 2021; with a celebratory DJ set by Plantainchipps on Saturday 19th June. We are considering the idea of ‘meandering networks’ as a starting point to think through how we connect and come together as cultural workers across the four nations. The first day is closed-door for Black practitioners with a curatorial practice and the second day is open to the public. Day two will feature a keynote address by Melanie Keen, Director of Wellcome Collection; an offline workshop by artist and researcher Ashanti Harris; and roundtable discussions led by Briana Pegado, Gaëtane Verna, Khadea Kuchenmeister and Lola Olufemi. Ashanti features in Glasgow International 2021 'Across the city' exhibitions programme.
