Black British history on record with Artist Rudy Loewe
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses issues with mental health, transphobia, racism, colonial violence and anti-blackness.
Podcast host Naomi sits down with artist Rudy Loewe to explore how they interpret black histories and social politics through painting, drawing and text. Listen as they discuss Britain’s response to black resistance in the English-speaking Caribbean in the 60s,70s and 80s. Gain a more comprehensive picture of Black presence in Britain today. Connect with us in learning how even today Black History is being erased with many of the archives not being accessible to the public. Additionally we look forward to what new, and inspiring legacies are being created today in the rich and intricate story of Black British Artists.
