Trespassing: Art and Black belonging in a colonial landscape

5 Apr 2024 7-8pm

Overview

Writer, editor and journalist, Niellah Arboine, whose work explores the complexities of Black belonging in nature, will facilitate a conversation that considers the role of artistic practice and expression to create and assert a new kind of belonging in Britain’s colonial landscape.
