Unlocking Narratives: The Roots of Decolonising Work in UK Libraries and Archives

We are prioritising bookings from students and BAME/people of colour until Wednesday 25th May. If you are not a student or BAME/person of colour, please do not book a ticket until that date. Can librarians and archivists have a conversation about the significance of current and future decolonising work in UK libraries and archives, reflecting on its relation with (or exploring its roots within) the British history of (especially Black-led) social and educational movements?Through this event, sponsored by UCL Department of Information Studies, Open Aspirations and Iniva, (Institute of International Visual Arts), we will explore the connections between archivists and librarians; highlight new voices in our sectors; and, together, think about a long legacy of resistance and resilience within British Black communities that inspired powerful student-led initiatives, such as Why Is My Curriculum White (2014), Rhodes Must Fall (2015) and Young Historians Project (2015). Speakers: <ul><li>Rebecca Adams (London Metropolitan Archives)</li><li>Marilyn Clarke (Goldsmiths, University of London)</li><li>Hannah Ishmael (Black Cultural Archives/UCL)</li><li>Shanique Thompson (Goldsmiths, University of London)</li></ul>Co-moderators:<ul><li>Mary Blomley (University of West London)</li><li>Sae Matsuno, (INIVA, Stuart Hall Library)</li></ul>
