Event Details
An insightful conversation between two artists.
Rider Shafique, lyricist, poet, and MC from Gloucester interviews Vanley Burke, the iconic photographer widely acknowledged as the godfather of Black British photography.
Vanley Burke’s iconic photographs have captured the evolving cultural landscape and social change, whilst stimulating debate over the past four decades.
His body of work represents possibly the largest photographic record of the Caribbean Diaspora in Britain, and as an avid collector, Vanley continues to connect histories through his substantial archive housed at the Library of Birmingham. From local community organisations to the Victoria & Albert Museum and Whitechapel, Vanley has exhibited widely in the United Kingdom, and as far afield as New York, South Africa and China.

Stonehenge is the most famous megalithic structure in the world. Instantly recognisable but infinitely mysterious, after 5000 years still nobody knows what it was or why it was created. Loved by 18th-century astronomers, Victorian romantics and 20th century druids alike, it’s become a cultural icon. Join one of Britain’s leading archaeologists and broadcasters Julian Richards, star of BBC2’s Meet the Ancestors and world expert on Stonehenge, as he explores our enduring fascination with the stones across the centuries and reveals the latest cutting-edge research on the question of exactly who built them and why.
