Present by Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow Womens Library & Glasgow School of Art, the Maud Sulter Lecture aims to amplify the legacy of artist Maud Sulter, her roots in Scotland, and the internationalism of her practice as an artist, photographer, writer, poet, curator, publisher and activist. From the mid-1980s until she died in 2008, Maud placed Black women at the centre of an art history that had excluded them. She also challenged Western art, denouncing the erasure faced by the African diaspora. This inaugural event will be delivered by Scottish poet, playwright, novelist, and former Makar/poet laureate of Scotland, Jackie Kay – who will discuss Maud’s artwork, her relationship to Scotland and Ghana (and Africa more widely), her identity, and way of bringing the past into the present artistically. Tickets available later in May.
