Exhibitions & Events March – May 2013 Keywords Exhibition 27 March – Words stay the same but their use often 18 May 2013 changes. These cultural shifts in society fascinated Raymond Williams, who in 1976 published the seminal book, Keywords Keywords — a vocabulary of culture and society, in which he analysed the use and meanings of over a hundred words such as anarchism,originality, genius and democracy. From March 27, 2013, Iniva presents a programme of exhibitions, lectures, film and learning projects in partnership with Tate Liverpool, expanding Williams’ studies of words into three - dimensional form. Keywords draws on loans from Tate Collection and explores words through works of art. The works date from 1976 focusing on material from the 1980s and early 1990s, including a frieze commission by Luca Frei and Will Holder. Keywords Lectures examine terms such as Equality, Theory and Sex, and Keywords Investigations invites you to explore your own words as part of a 10 – week workshop series. Keywords continues at Tate Liverpool in 2014. Artists include: Sonia Boyce, Willie Doherty, Rita Donagh, Sunil Gupta, Mona Hatoum, Lubaina Front and back cover: Stephen McKenna, An English Oak Tree, Himid, Inventory, Derek Jarman, Louis Le Brocquy, 1981, © Stephen McKenna,courtesy Tate; Sunil Gupta, Heaven, from the tape-slide Gustav Metzger, Donald Rodney, Guy Tillim, David project London Gay Switchboard, 1980, 35mm, colour slide projection, © Sunil Gupta, Wojnarowicz, Stephen Willats and Carey Young. courtesy of the artist.

    Stuart Hall and Black British Art 62

    von Rosenberg: Stuart Hall and Black British Art 62 Stuart Hall and Black British Art INGRID VON ROSENBERG Technische Universität Dresden, Germany Introduction: A Sidelined Area of Hall’s Work The following article deals with a somewhat neglected aspect of Stuart Hall’s manifold activities and its relevance for his theoretical work: his interest in and commitment to the promotion of black British art. To start with, a brief definition seems helpful as, in the course of time, the term ‘black’ has been charged with various meanings. Once used in a disparaging racist sense from the colonialists' position, it was later adopted by black people with self-confidence, first in an essentialist sense, later in more differentiating ways. It was Stuart Hall who highlighted the importance of cultural differences between the various groups living in diasporic conditions in Britain, most famously in his seminal article “New Ethnicities” of 1989. Yet when he wrote or spoke about ‘black art’ or ‘black artists’, he used the term black in the same “broad and inclusive way” as the politically active artists in the 1970s and 1980s had done, referring “to all those communities, of whatever ethnic or ‘racial’ origin, who were regarded as ‘other’ – different – and thus racially excluded” (Hall, 2001a: 35). The following study is based on this definition. In the later part of his life Stuart Hall became institutionally involved in black art, dedicating much of his time to this engagement: for 15 years he held the chairs of the boards of both Iniva (Institute of International Visual Art) and Autograph ABP (a non- profit making arts agency promoting photographers from ethnic minorities), two leading institutions focusing on ‘black art’ in the defined sense, i.e.

Becky, Jess and I are very appreciative of the enthusiasm for Stuart’s work that has inspired this extraordinary set of events at Goldsmiths during the week of 24th to 28th November. It is heart-warming to see the ways in which his legacies live on across disciplines and generations. Stuart always had connections with Goldsmiths and he admired its commitment to the study of culture in its broadest sense - as a way of life. We hope to be able to join you in this celebratory week and would like to thank all those who have made it possible. Professor Catherine Hall, University College London - - Professor Stuart Hall Events Week - - Professor Stuart Hall Events Week The Stuart Hall Week of events, international conference and the naming of the Professor Stuart Hall Building could not have come together without the considerable effort of a very broad range of people across the university.
