Fife Contemporary Celebrates Black History Month

From 3.30-5.30pm Thursday 29 October, Fife Contemporary invites you to join them to explore, listen and learn about Scottish-based artworks and projects that are in support of, and that celebrate, artists and people from African and Caribbean heritage as we mark Black History Month 2020.

Speakers range from researchers, artists, curators and project facilitators. Some even span all of these disciplines. We will be joined by Wezi Mhura, Ashanti Harris, Veronique Lapeyre and Tiffany Boyle. each speaker will give a presentation on their practice and there will be time for Q&A at the end.

Wezi Mhura is the creative producer of the Black Lives Matter Scottish Mural Trail along with many other projects.

Ashanti Harris is a multi-disciplinary visual artist and researcher working with dance, performance and movement, alongside sculpture, film and installation.

Veronique Lapeyre is the founder of Zanana Project that supports the creative ambitions of Black, Asian, Mixed Heritage + People of Colour in Scotland and beyond.
