Lunchtime Lectures: The Music is Black: a British Story Curator Talk
This event is part of the free Lunchtime Lecture series. No booking is required.
V&A East Museum’s inaugural exhibition The Music is Black: A British Story explores 125 years of British colonial and domestic histories and an array of British-born Black musical styles created from the 1970s onward.
Join Lead Curator Jacqueline Springer for an illustrated presentation providing insight into the construction of a sound immersive exhibition in a new museum, the exhibition’s vast curatorial narrative, working with external institutions, the V&A collection and adding to the collection through relationships forged with a range of artists from the sectors of music, painting, sculpture and photography.
Jacqueline Springer is Curator of Africa & Diaspora: Performance at the V&A and the lead curator of The Music is Black: A British Story.
