Online, 1 - 5pm, Wed 9th March, 2022
Join a panel of internationally renowned curators, art historians and researchers discussing themes around the life and work of London-based South African expressionist artist Albert Adams (1929-2006).
Hosted by Dr Alice Correia in collaboration with the University of Salford Art Collection, the free study day will touch on a range of topics from: self-portraiture, post-war painting and printmaking, Black modernism, masculinity and sexuality, and the South African artistic community in London.
Confirmed speakers include: Elena Crippa (Tate Britain), Alice Correia (freelance art historian), Christine Eyene (University of Central Lancashire), Greg Salter (University of Birmingham) and Allan Walker (University of Salford).
Plus - we will be releasing new poetry written in response to Adam's work by Professor Jackie Kay CBE, former Chancellor and writer-in-residence at the University of Salford.

Albert Adams: In Context is supported by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and by a donor funded Salford Advantage Grant.
The Albert Adams collection is presented by Edward Glennon through the Art Fund.
