IBAR in association with the Bronte Parsonage Museum Haworth Present
Lost Children: The Black Atlantic and Northern Britain – An
Interdisciplinary Symposium April 30-May 1 2015
The Institute for Black Atlantic Research at the University of Central
Lancashire, Preston is proud to announce that it will host a symposium to
tie in with the launch of Caryl Phillips new novel The Lost Child, a prequel
to Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. It will echo the historical context and
themes of the work discussing black presences across generations in the
North from the 1770s to the present. It will be an interdisciplinary
symposium which will bring together historians, visual artists, cultural
critics and writers. It will discuss The Lost Child in its widest black
Atlantic and Northern British context and highlight links and contexts that
enable a variety of other writers and artists including the Brontes to be
discussed. This will create dynamic new interpretations of British culture
in this rarely heard context of the North and the Black Atlantic. It will
include two readings from Caryl Phillips at UCLAN and at the Bronte
Parsonage Museum Haworth. The symposium will spend the second afternoon in
Haworth and there will be an opportunity to explore Bronte Country with a
guided tour from our own Victorian expert Dr.Theresa Saxon.
Our two keynote presenters are Dr. Jessica Moody (University of Portsmouth)
an expert on Liverpool and its memory of slavery and Dr. Fionnghuala Sweeney
(Newcastle University) an expert on Ireland, Britain and the Black Atlantic.
Visual Artists presenting their work include IBAR’s own Professor Lubaina
Himid, Manchester-based Kuljit (Kooj) Chuhan and Scarborough-born Jade
Montserrat.
New York film-maker Sikay Tang will present her film Toby’s Paradise about
the sojourn from Liverpool to Shanghai of a Nigerian-born sailor.
Joe Williams from Heritage Corner in Leeds will perform his show about the
Northern, black Victorian British circus performer, Pablo Fanque (
