Never Done is a programme that enables curators and artists to conduct international research visits and residencies.

About

Organised and produced by curator Adelaide Bannerman in partnership with cultural institutions, the selection of participants is based on research and invitation only, and on some occasions co-selected with partners, enabling curators and artists to visit the UK or another country to conduct bespoke research visits and residencies that promote their activity to new contacts, peers, and audiences.

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.
