Kingston Calling: Jamaican Pulse Uncovered
Bristol, The Royal West of England Academy, June 27, 2016
Booking is now open for Kingston Calling: Jamaican Pulse Uncovered a one-day symposium organised by the Royal West of England Academy of Art in partnership with the History of Art Department of the University of Bristol.
The symposium is a part of Jamaican Pulse: Art and Politics from Jamaica and the Diaspora, a groundbreaking exhibition of Jamaican visual art. It brings together artists, activists, academics and curators to unpack and unpick the many and varied configurations of ‘politics’ that underpin Jamaican Pulse: Art and Politics from Jamaica and the Diaspora. It foregrounds the art of Jamaica and its diaspora to open up the spaces between and around the interstices of the personal and the political; the local and the global; the national and the trans-national; old myths and new narratives.

TMRC Conference 2016: CALL FOR PAPERS:
FRAMING THE CRITICAL DECADE: AFTER THE BLACK ARTS MOVEMENT, 21 March 2016
‘It is simply too early to try to define the 1980s as a closed or finished period… It is still unresolved and very much ongoing.’
Kobena Mercer, ‘Iconography After Identity’ (2005)
The Black Arts Movement was generated by the tumult of the 1980s – a decade defined as much by Thatcherism, civil unrest and race riots as by the rise of cultural theory and so-called ‘single issue’ social movements. It aimed to transform the nature and perception of British art and its histories. Under its banner, a constellation of artists and critics from a wide range of diasporic backgrounds worked around, and through, questions of ‘Blackness’ in Britain. They interrogated the possibilities and implications of Black British Art and its relationship to other forms of creative production, popular culture and transnational modernisms more broadly.
This conference will examine the ways in which the dialogues and discourses initiated by the Black Arts Movement are, as Kobena Mercer reminds us, unresolved and ongoing. It will continue to unpack and unpick questions around the efficacy and outcomes of the tenuously labeled Movement and reflect on the ways in which this period, only thirty short years ago, has become historicized (or not). It also aims to push debate forward, to ask how the aesthetic, historical, methodological and/or critical threads of the ‘critical decade’ wind through the 1990s and beyond; to address the rise of globlalization, multiculturalism, digital networks and technologies, developments in the bio-sciences and post-racial debates to the playful posturing of the YBAs and an increasingly transnational art scene.
Proposals are invited for papers covering any aspect of Black British Art (before and after the 1980s) and the Black Arts Movement, from scholars working in all fields of creative and visual culture. Topics might include, but are not limited to:
- The global/the local
- History and myth
- The canon/canonicity
- Art, science, and technology
- Exhibitions
- Archives
- The relationship between art and literature
- Gender and the body
- Before the Black Arts Movement
- Fashion/Style/Dress
Please send proposals along with a brief biography to Dr. Elizabeth Robles (haekr@bristol.ac.uk) before 1 November, 2015.

In recent years, there has been a significant growth in scholarship investigating both the visual and wider cultural production of Weimar, most often centred in Berlin. However, there were other centres of cultural production besides Berlin as well as other, untold, experiences of Weimar linked to rural communities, provincial cities, parallel cities and urban minorities.

Postgraduate Symposium Report
In response to the recent Transnational Modernisms Postgraduate Committee symposium 'Re-mapping Modernism(s): Transnational and Interdisciplinary Approaches', which took place on Friday 30th May 2014, Vesna Lukic, a doctoral student who contributed a paper, has delivered the following report:
In an attempt to position the modernist discourse within a multi-disciplinary research cluster, a round table discussion was held, based on five papers presented by the members of the postgraduate student committee. Papers addressed different aspects of modernism as seen through five doctoral projects, ranging from poetic expression of madness, through problems around possibilities and impossibilities of media representation and musical appropriation of modernity, to the transnational impact modernism has made on (re)interpreting the national quality in art, on one side, and on the other, in enabling certain political climates for framing reality. Speakers then further expanded on the ways the discourse of modernism is approached and employed in a contemporary academic context, at which point the discussion was opened for other participants as well. The organizers’ intention was to set the initial platform for recognizing a common language for interpreting different art practices deemed modernist. After the fruitful exchange, our cluster’s manifesto is to further enable interdisciplinary encounters around the ambiguous notion of transnational modernism.

Tate Britain Workshop
Title: The Device of Bringing them all Together: International and Imperial Exhibitions, 1851-1924.
This workshop explores the relationships between internationalism, the global circuits of cultural display, and the phenomenon of the international exhibition between 1851 (the Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace) and 1924 (the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley). Exhibitions were key sites of national, international and imperial encounter for artists, designers, exhibitors and visitors from across the world; a 'device for bringing them all together', in the words of Patrick Geddes, the nineteenth-century Scottish polymath and internationalist. In this context, however, the 'international' did not amount to equality. The tension between internationalism, imperialism and nationalism which such exhibitions embodied and generated will be the focus of our discussion.
