Dear All,
Creative Activism Now!: Andrew Salkey and Today’s Diasporic Cultural Networks
The Knowledge Centre, The British Library, London, Saturday 20 June 2020
Call for Poster Presentations
A celebratory conference placing Andrew Salkey’s legacy in the modern moment and exploring the Caribbean diasporic networks of today.
As part of the conference programme, we will be holding a poster presentation session after lunch alongside a show and tell session. The poster session offers researchers the chance to present their work or project in a visual format and offers opportunities for wider interaction and discussion of the work.
We are currently accepting proposed poster presentations from scholars and early career researchers with an interest in Caribbean diaspora studies from a wide variety of institutions. We would also like to strongly encourage poster proposals from non-academics - writers, artists, performers, activist and archivists.
Your poster should convey the key findings of your research or the key aims of your project. It should be visually appealing to grab the attention of delegates. If you wish you can prepare handouts to supplement your poster.
Poster presentations relating to all areas of the Caribbean diaspora studies are eligible, including but not limited to:
• The works of Andrew Salkey
• Literary and cultural networks across the Diaspora – past and present
• Women’s writing and activism
• The Caribbean Artists Movement
• Diasporic communication, languages and idioms
• Expressions of home, belonging, exile, transnationality
• Radical Politics, Black Radical Aesthetics, human liberation
• The politics of the archive, memory and erasure, the ethics of dispersed and contested archives, Decolonising the Archive
• New media, broadcasting, publishing, literary festivals
Posters should not exceed A1 size (594mm x 841 mm)
Posters will be placed on an A1 size poster board
Please send you poster proposal by email to Eleanor Casson, [log in to unmask] by 27th April 2020 – limited space is available.
Participants in the poster session will need to register for the conference through the British Library box office.
Kind Regards,
Eleanor Casson
