Tomorrow we have a very special event with Alice Procter. Alice is a Historian with a focus on the intersections of post colonial art practice and colonial material culture, settler storytelling, the concept of whiteness in the 18th and 19th centuries, the curation of historical trauma, and myths of national identity.
Alice is the founder of The Uncomfortable Art Tours in London which focus on how major institutions came into being against a backdrop of Imperialism.
Our book of the month is also written by Alice! ‘The Whole Picture: The Colonial Story of the Art in Our Museums & why We Need to Talk about it’. The book tackles questions regarding decolonising galleries, whether museums should give back objects and who has the right to hold these objects and tell these stories?
​
On Thursday Alice will be discussing grief in museum spaces- a topic which isn’t spoken about often!

In Conversation: Jann Haworth
Jann Haworth joins our president, Louise Olof-Ors, for a discussion of the roles of materiality and handcraft in her practice, her relation to celebrity culture, and her position in a male-dominated artistic scene.
​
A Hollywood native, Jann Haworth began her career in the 1960s, while she was a fine art student at Slade and an art-history student at the Courtauld in London. She has navigated the US and UK art scenes ever since, pioneering the Pop aesthetic, soft sculpture and textile collage, through works such as Maid (1966), the Dreaming Painters series (2003-2004) and Work in Progress (2016), a reinterpretation of her 1967 Beatles vinyl cover, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band done in collaboration with her then-husband Peter Blake.
