1/7 This #BlackHistoryMonth we are showcasing current exhibitions from some of our amazing Black Alumni across art and design.
With recommendations from RCA BLK – the RCA’s Association of Black Students, Alumni and Friends – and our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) team.
4/7 Harold Offeh (Tutor, MA Contemporary Art Practice) is currently showing @VanGoghLondon.
'We Came Here' creates a dialogue between 20-year old Vincent Van Gogh just arrived in Stockwell in 1873 and 20-year old Olive Morris, a Jamaican-born Brixton-based activist in 1972.
If you live locally, get involved with some crafting at our next community coffee morning this coming Friday 28th October - just turn up between 10am-12pm, all free!🎨
