WOCI Reading Group

Women of Colour Index Reading Group (WOCI) was set up in October 2016 by artists, Samia Malik, Michelle Williams Gamaker and Rehana Zaman (UK). WOCI Reading Group aims to improve visibility for women of colour artists whilst using archive material to generate discussion and practice around current social and political concerns. The group meets on a monthly basis to discuss work within the Women of Colour Index (WOCI); a unique collection of slides and papers collated by artist Rita Keegan that charts the emergence of Women of Colour artists during the ‘critical decades’ of the 1980s and 1990s in the UK, using materials in the archive to generate discussion, thought and practice around current social and political concerns.
