The event will explore and discuss the construction and negotiation of ethnic minority and female identities within British society, popular culture and high art, considering if and how it might be possible for traditionally marginalized identities to change and move beyond familiar (often injurious) modes of representation and communication, whilst also questioning whether there's a need to move beyond these existing frameworks at all? How pervasive and pernicious are these so called hegemonic systems of power?

Quilla ConstanceA Q&A will follow.
