Join us for a Library Session with curator, writer, and independent researcher Orsod Malik, Director of the Stuart Hall Foundation and a recently appointed member of our board.
Malik will discuss the relationship between Stuart Hall, his own curatorial practice, and his work at the Stuart Hall Foundation - established in 2015 to honour the life and legacy of the late Stuart Hall (1932-2014), the Jamaican-born British Marxist sociologist, cultural theorist, and political activist.
