*University of Sussex, online, Friday 24 Sept. 2021 *

* apologies for cross-posting *


Following requests, the deadline for proposals for this event has been 
extended by a month to May 20, so there's still time to work on something.


Proposals of no more than 250 words should be sent to Thomas Austin 
((t.r.austin /at/ sussex.ac.uk)<mailto:(t.r.austin /at/ sussex.ac.uk)>) by 20 May 
2021.Thanks very much.



Working across a range of formats, from video art and gallery 
installations to Hollywood to BBC1 with his recent Small Axe pentalogy, 
SteveMcQueen’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.

Keynote speaker: Dr Clive Nwonka, University of York
