Join us for a relaxed daytime conversation with Vanley Burke and Professor Pat Noxolo.
Burke is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Black British photography. For decades, his work has documented everyday life, political struggle and community experience in Birmingham and beyond. Professor Pat Noxolo, Chair in Postcolonial Geographies at the University of Birmingham, brings a complementary perspective, exploring how Vanley’s work connects to wider cultural, historical and academic conversations about race, place and representation.
