To celebrate Black History Month, our inaugural session in the series explores black literature movements and visual representations of black figures. The event is a panel discussion with Aurella Yussuf and Hudda Khaireh from Thick/er Black Lines – an interdisciplinary research-led artist collective that applies contemporary art theory, cultural studies and social practices to rewrite histories – and Dr. Marl’ene Edwin, Deputy Director of the Centre for Caribbean and Diaspora Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The event was chaired by Dr Ida Hadjivayanis (Lecturer in Swahili, SOAS).

This event is part of the Hidden Histories seminar series, organised by the SOAS Decolonising Working Group (DWG). The seminar series is curated by the Library Decolonisation Operational Group, led by Farzana Qureshi, Dr. Ludi Price, Amma Poku and Angelica Baschiera

Hidden Histories seeks to highlight stories from African, Caribbean and Asian communities in the UK and beyond, bringing to light a shared vision of decolonising knowledge production, and documenting the unique voices and experiences of diasporas in Britain and across the world.
