Vanley Burke in his Nechells flat
Celebrating Black History Month 2015
Renowned as the “godfather of black British photography,” Birmingham-based Vanley Burke is also a dedicated archivist and collector of objects relating to black culture in Britain. In this illustrated talk, Vanley and Ikon Gallery’s Head of Learning, Simon Taylor, explore his career and the Ikon’s recent exhibition of Vanley’s archive, the ‘cabinet of wonderful curiosities’ to be found in his flat in Nechells.
