In conversation: Black Worlding
Grammy Award-winning artist and director Jenn Nkiru joins Jenn Nkiru, Alberta Whittle and Phoebe Boswell to talk about intersectional creativity and "Black Worlding", moderated by Tina Campt.
Black contemporary artists have long been a source of inspiration for imagining Black life otherwise. Their work has been a beacon not just for reflecting our lived realities, but for conjuring creative ways of thriving against all odds. In this sense, Black contemporary artists are ‘world-builders’ who create vivid depictions of what Tina Campt calls “the future we want to live now.”
Join us for an engaging conversation with three visionary Black contemporary artists who will share their imaginative creative practice of Black world building in challenging times.
This event is part of Spring at the Barbican: Concrete Garden, a series of events inviting you to retreat from the noise of the city with a season of growth and transformation.
