Alchemising the Everyday: Sharbreon Plummer on curatorial practice as a form of Black feminist praxis
Pao
We recently had the pleasure of bookselling at the event Alchemizing The Everyday with Dr Sharbreon Plummer and Dr Jess Bailey.
"What does it mean to curate from a position of embodied knowledge? How might we make exhibitions, build archives, construct narratives and shape worlds not merely about Black women’s art, but through the epistemological traditions Black women have always carried? In her lecture, Dr. Sharbreon S. Plummer explored curatorial practice as a form of Black feminist praxis, as an intellectual methodology, a political act, and a commitment to care."

We've compiled a wee list of the books we took to this stall. These books relate to the themes of the talk, and some of them were selected by Dr Plummer.
There's a limited amount of signed copies of Dr Plummer's book, Diasporic Threads - get yours now!
