We are delighted to have partnered with the independent arts publisher MACK, and artist Joy Gregory as editor to bring together this is vital cultural history, much of which has been underrepresented and unarchived.
At the launch Joy Gregory will say a few words alongside Autograph’s director Mark Sealy. There will be a drinks reception and the opportunity to purchase the book.
