Art and Identity - Race, Gender and Power

Why is art history relevant today and how can images from the past help us understand the present?

In this session with art historian Dr Tilly Scantlebury, you will explore both figurative and abstract paintings by artists such as Frank Bowling, Howardena Pindell and Barkley Hendricks. Through lively group discussion and close looking,  we will be thinking through the dynamics of race, gender and power in the work of these artists.All sessions are run online via MS Teams.
