Episode Description

Lecturer, PhD researcher and curator, Janine joined us to critically examine the role of British art museums in upholding colonial imaginations of art and culture.

*Please note season 9 is recorded entirely via video call during the COVID-19 Global Pandemic. Hosts Chantelle and Tissot and executive producer George pride themselves on ensuring a comfortable and encouraging recording atmosphere but this is clearly difficult to suffice remotely. Bear with us on this*

Reading:
Paul Gilroy, There Aint No Black in the Union Jack, Aurelien Mondon and Aaron Winter, Reactionary Democracy: How racism and the populist far right became mainstream and Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot and Jessica Hoffman Davis, the Art and Science of Portraiture.
