Creating Black Archives w/ Dr Vanley Burke
Today we have a very special guest Doctor Vanley Burke. Dubbed the godfather of Black British Photography, he started documenting the lives of Handsworth residents since the 60s and his archive, which contains not only photos but also objects giving context to the Black experience, became so substantial that it is largely housed in Birmingham’s Central Library. An exhibition in 2015 at Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery transported his entire home into the gallery and became one of the most successful exhibition in the galleries history. http://www.vanley.co.uk/ (http://www.vanley.co.uk/) Desert Island Disks: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00010pq (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00010pq) Intersectional GLAM conference tickets available: https://lglam2020.eventbrite.com Online Courses: https://intersectionalglam.org/online-courses/ (https://intersectionalglam.org/online-courses/) Tip Jar: https://intersectionalglam.org/podcast-well-spoken-tokens/ (https://intersectionalglam.org/podcast-well-spoken-tokens/)
