Art and the City: Bristol at 650
The Autumn Art Lecture series is an annual series of public events, hosted by the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Arts with support from the Centre for Black Humanities and Bristol Ideas.
This year the lectures will focus on some of the historical, cultural and conceptual spaces of Bristol. The series coincides with Bristol 650 – the year-long celebration that marks the anniversary of the 1373 royal charter – and will be an opportunity not just to talk about Bristol and its (in)visible histories, but also to step into the city itself.
Events will be hosted in venues that span Bristol – from the Cathedral at its heart on College Green, to Spike Island in the midst of the river that defines the city’s cosmopolitan past and present. Speakers include curators, artists, and academics, who together will take us on a journey through both familiar and unfamiliar aspects of the city’s history, including its place in the wider world.
