Dr Victoria Avery, curator of our Rise Up exhibition, shares her fascinating new research alongside violin performances by Nicole Cherry, the Assistant Professor of Violin from University of Texas at San Antonio and founder of the ForgewithGeorge project which commissions new violin compositions inspired by Bridgetower.
Curated by historian of abolitionist ideas, Nathaniel Adam Tobias Coleman, this unique programme of short films showcases highlights from the University of Birmingham’s groundbreaking conference, last year, Undoing 2007; Preparing for 2038.
Challenging familiar, but misleading, narratives of 'abolition’, the rigorous presentations and surprising conversations archived in these fifteen short films consider how communities can commemorate freedom-fighting, resistance, and abolition by harnessing reparative histories
Grab a glass of wine and engage in an evening of unconventional conversation where we will celebrate the body, both sculpted and flesh-and-blood.
What is the place of our body when we enter a museum? How can we find space amongst a roll-call of sculpted perfection for our own embodiment, however messy and real? Choreographer Sivan Rubenstein’s dance performance will foreground the mother’s growing body in transformation, while Caroline Vout and Sarah Fine bring academic and philosophical discourse back to the body.
