Lunchtime Lecture: Imagined Lives - The Black Presence
Join expert curators and inspiring speakers for our free weekly lunchtime lectures.
Based on the Imagined Lives Project organised by the National Trust and the National Portrait Gallery, this lecture is inspired by the works within the V&A Europe Gallery 1600-1815 and their connection to African Heritage. Kim Sheldon will focus on these objects as a starting point, for descriptive writing, characterisation and generating their stories to be heard. We will retell, revise, reshape and recreate the often lost or hidden life stories of the Black Presence imagery within the gallery.
