This is a free, ticketed event.
There will be an opportunity to explore the exhibition prior to the event. Anne will be joined in-conversation with exhibition curator Dr Amy Tobin.
This panel will approach craft from the perspective of three of its authors who work with a diverse range of craft histories, chaired by Laura Moseley, Common Threads Press founder and Assistant Curator of the Women’s Art Collection.
Speakers include Gill Crawshaw (Rights Not Charity: Protest Textiles and Disability Activism, 2023) and Rachel Dedman (Stitching the Intifada: Embroidery and Resistance in Palestine, 2024).
This exhibition presents eight contemporary artists whose works offer vantage points on a world in perpetual crisis. Rather than representing specific political events, or taking singular positions, each artist in this exhibition explores broader conditions of domination and conflict, as well as horizons for survival.
Explore the exhibition, join one of our talks, soak up the music and visuals and enjoy tasty food and drinks. Future Legacies is an online interdisciplinary community commissioning platform focused on exploring the Black Atlantic. The aim of the platform is to foster ongoing dialogue and showcase cultural production and critique for diasporic communities, bridging the museum’s Black Atlantic: Power, People, Resistance exhibition (Sept 2023—Jan 2024) and the current Rise Up: Resistance, Revolution, Abolition exhibition.
