Open Doors and Closed Windows: The Void and the Fire is the second in the series of art and research-sharing talks led by artist Harmanpreet Randhawa, as part of their Boundary Encounters residency at Modern Art Oxford. In this session, they will examine works by artists such as Prem Sahib, Ashkan Sepahavand and David Wojnarowicz, as well as their own art, in relation to José Esteban Munoz’s concept of “Queer utopia in the present”. 

1947 London was a hub of radical anti – colonial activity. International intellectuals, artists, and activists like Funmilayo Ransome – Kuti, Sylvia Wynter, C.L R. James, Kwame Nkrumah, and George Padmore were all in London at the eve of the end of British colonialism. Individually, they were agitating for their respective countries’ national independence, but did they meet? And if they did, what did they discuss? What did they conjure? 

A Radical Duet is funded by Film London Artist Moving Image Network, Bonington Gallery, June Givanni Pan African Cinema Archive, and The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities Cultural Programme. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Join Platform award artist Sarah Catterall for Unfolding Moments, an opportunity to draw and experiment with found and collected materials as part of Catterall’s installation in the Creative Space.
