online,Friday 24 September 2021*

Working across a range of formats, from video art and gallery 
installations to Hollywood to BBC1 with his recent Small Axe pentalogy, 
Steve McQueen’s prodigious output has been marked by formal ambition and 
political urgency, engaging most notably, but not exclusively, with 
black experience in racialised settings. This symposium interrogates his 
body of work, its political, aesthetic and institutional dimensions, and 
the interfaces between them.
