About Us

NEVER DONE is a self-funded initiative led by curator Adelaide Bannerman and developed in partnership with cultural institutions, to enable curators and artists to conduct research visits and residencies that promote their activity to new contacts, peers, and audiences. The selection of participants is based on research and invitation only from the curator, and on some occasion co-selected from open-calls with partners.

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.
