Joy Gregory (b. 1959. Bicester, UK). BORN IN THE UK TO JAMAICAN PARENTS, JOY GREGORY https://www.instagram.com/joy_gregory_studio/?hl=en-gb’S WORK EXPLORES THE IMPACT OF COLONIALISM ON GLOBAL PERCEPTIONS OF BEAUTY, MEMORY, BOTANY, HEALTH AND TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE. AS A PHOTOGRAPHER, GREGORY HAS WORKED OVER DECADES IN VARIOUS MEDIA, INCLUDING VIDEO, DIGITAL AND ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY, FILM INSTALLATION, VICTORIAN PRINT PROCESSES AND MORE RECENTLY TEXTILES; EXPLORING PHOTOGRAPHY AS TECHNOLOGY AND AS MODE OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. SHE IS INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING HOW INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES REMEMBER AND INTERPRET THEIR HISTORY, PARTICULARLY IN RELATION TO THEIR CONNECTION TO THE LAND. Joy & Lou discuss the themes of process and practice as they have developed throughout the artist’s four decade career. In June, Art on the Underground will unveil a new series of Joy’s artworks at Heathrow Terminal 4 Underground station - envisaging Heathrow as a portal of entry and exit. I spoke with Joy in February, as she embarked on her partnership with Hillingdon-based charity Refugees in Effective and Active Partnership (REAP) facilitating a series of photographic workshops with asylum seekers living in hotels in the Heathrow area, as well as a community group for Afghan women in Hayes and Harlington. These workshops will inform the creation of her artwork for Heathrow Terminal 4, giving space to the stories of newly arrived Londoners, displaced people whose realities are increasingly maligned and misrepresented. The work will offer an indelible trace of the cultures, languages and hopes which coalesce in London. In the Autumn of 2025, Whitechapel Gallery will stage Joy’s first monographic exhibition https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/joy-gregory-wins-the-freelands-award-2023/, surveying a four-decade practice.

Welcome to the final episode in my seven part, end of year series! Inspired by the Black radical tradition of the harmony between the lyrical and visual, I am joined by friends to explore the musical influences that inspire their work. We also look to the people, real and imagined, familial and ancestral who guide them. Cynthia is a costume designer, whose work you will have seen in successful British films, like the recent Rye Lane directed by Raine Allen-Miller. Cynthia's currently showing work at Somerset House in London as part of the exhibition https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/the-missing-thread which charts the shifting landscape of Black British culture and the unique contribution it's made to Britain's design history. Our friendship began in the early 2000s, when we worked together in my capacity as a photographer. It was Cynthia's generosity of ideas and her unique approach to design that inspired me and makes her one of the most revered costume designers today. Cynthia and I sneaked in a super quick, ten minute conversation whilst she was on set last week. She shares her musical influences and talks about how music is the foundation of her design for all of her characters. Please share and review this independent Black art show. Thank you! ENJOY!

Welcome to the penultimate episode in this Christmas series of conversations. Inspired by the Black radical tradition of the harmony between the lyrical and visual, I am joined by friends artists to explore the musical influences that inspire their work. We also look to the people, real and imagined, familial and ancestral who guide them. Rashod Taylor is a Missouri-based photographer whose photographs are a window into the Black American experience. His work uses portraiture to address themes of family, race, culture, and legacy. Rashod is most recognised for his series https://www.rashodtaylor.com/, an ongoing project featuring his son, which earned him an Arnold Newman Prize. His work is actively collected by the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and has been featured in publications including National Geographic, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Guardian, Forbes, and many more. His photographs embody a communing of influences from the past, present, and future, he says ”I TELL THE STORY OF MY FAMILY HISTORY AND MY STORY, IN MY SON'S STORY.” Our conversation begins with Rashod telling us about the influence of negro spiritual songs on his work.

Welcome to this seven part, end of year series - new episodes are released each weekday between Dec 13-21. Inspired by the Black radical tradition of the harmony between the lyrical and visual. I am joined by friends (artists, dancers, musicians) to explore the musical influences that inspire their work. We also look to the people, real and imagined, familial and ancestral who guide them. Tyrone is a concept driven artist whose skills originate from Jazz and Hip-Hop Theatre. Working as a performer across dance and music, his practice has grown to become a mixture of Krump, contemporary dance, visual art & Jazz music.He performs in Julian Knxx's latest exhibition https://www.barbican.org.uk/our-story/press-room/julianknxx-chorus-in-rememory-of-flight currently running at the Barbican. "There's already a musical language that is embedded in the ideas of that work because of the way Julian is working with choirs, and then I can try and translate that into movement. I have a good relationship with Julian and there's a lot of trust. So in some ways, we've established a chorus." He recently released his debut LP, S!ck - and was called ”one to watch" by Giles Peterson this year. Take Five jazz awardees. ENJOY! Please share and review this independent show. Thank you!

Welcome to this seven part, end of year series! New episodes released each weekday between Dec 13-21. Inspired by the Black radical tradition of the harmony between the lyrical and visual. I am joined by friends (artists, dancers, musicians) to explore the musical influences that inspire their work. We also look to the people, real and imagined, familial and ancestral who guide them. Today I am joined by Jose Campos, who is also known by his artist name, Studio Lenca. https://www.studiolenca.com/about Jose considers himself to be an artist that doesn’t belong anywhere apart from the world he creates. He says that “I HAVE A DEEP LONGING TO CONNECT WITH THE LAND OF MY ANCESTORS. IT’S A LONGING THAT I DON’T REALISE IS ALWAYS THERE UNTIL IT GETS FULFILLED.” Jose was forcibly displaced as a consequence of El Salvador’s civil war, he one of the first wave of child migrants moving to the USA. Travelling illegally with his mother, the family lived as ‘illegal aliens’, cleaning houses with no fixed address. His paintings depict regal figures that seek to decentralise the collective idea of Salvadoran identity. The work playfully references a combination of biographical anecdotes, personal reflections and folkloric iconography. ENJOY! Please share and review this independent show. Thank you!

WELCOME TO SERIES NINE! This is my end of year series! New episodes will be released each weekday, between Dec 13-21. Inspired by the Black radical tradition of the harmony between the lyrical and visual. I am joined by friends (artists, dancers, photographers, musicians) to explore the musical influences that inspire their work. We also look to the people, real and imagined, familial and ancestral who guide them. Get ready to be inspired! Today I am delighted to introduce a special episode, with my friend the musician Brian Jackson. You may know Brian's work from his partnership with Gil Scott-Heron, together they made ten albums over an eight year period, including and Time and time again that music has found its way onto over 100 cuts like Common's (from ) and Kendrick Lamar's (from ). Brian is still building with artists as diverse as Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Midnight Hour, A Tribe Called Quest) to the vocalist Gregory Porter. I started by asking Brian about Langston Hughes, and how his legacy brought he and Gil together, where they followed in the footsteps of not only Langston Hughes but also Thurgood Marshall, Kwame Nkrumah and Oscar Brown Jr. Brian says in our conversation: ”IT [LINCOLN] JUST SEEMED LIKE A LOGICAL PLACE FOR ME TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY INTO AFROCENTRICITY.” "GIL USED TO CALL OUR SONGS, OUR ALBUMS, SURVIVAL KITS ON WAX. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THE GRIOT TRADITION. BECAUSE, IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO HEAL THE COMMUNITY. IT'S SPIRITUAL WORK." "I'M GONNA TELL YOU LOU, BEFORE IT'S ALL OVER, I'M GONNA DO A CHRISTMAS ALBUM. WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?!" Please share and review this independent show. Thank you! ENJOY!

Today my guest is Patrice Robinson who talks about Snapshots: Caribbean Cinema Up Close, at The Barbican https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2023/series/snapshots-caribbean-cinema-up-close, her debut curatorial season. With interest in communities, community access to film and the intimacies of the human experience, Patrice is a film programmer and writer working in the intersection of audiences and cinema. Patrice and Lou discuss Patrice's late entry into film following a change in career, and how the Independent Cinema Office’s FEDS Scheme led to her permanent position at The Barbican. She also shares how her time at the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival informed Snapshots, and why she focused on films that shared themes of connection - to the land, oneself and family. Snapshots offers a rare insight into the flourishing Caribbean film culture. Exploring individual and shared cultural identities, Snapshots: Caribbean Cinema Up Close runs from 17-31 May, and kicks off with the UK premiere of the brand new restoration of Kavery Kaul’s One Hand Don’t Clap, her upbeat archive documentary which explores the importance of Calypso music and the community around it. The season continues with Currents, a programme of seven shorts by Caribbean filmmakers which explore universal themes of (familial and self) acceptance, overcoming adversity, justice and pride from a uniquely Caribbean perspective. The season closes with writer/director José María Cabral’s Parsley, based on the real story of the Parsley Massacre, a mass killing of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic north western frontier October 1937. Parsley tells the story of a heavily pregnant Haitian woman left alone in the wilderness near the Dominican border, trying to escape the attack.

The MA student curators of Tracing Absence re-imagine the show to respond to the local context. Episode 18 of Whitechapel Gallery’s Hear, Now podcast series was published in October 2022. It delves deeper into the themes that underpin the exhibition Tracing Absence. Students graduating from the MA Curating Art and Public Programmes course, run by Whitechapel Gallery and London South Bank University, had the opportunity to curate this exhibition as part of their course, which confronts the different ways in which absence manifests in the world. Tracing Absence features new sound art pieces by Joseph Sergi and Yiskāh (alias Jessica Beechy) and works from the Christen Sveaas Art Foundation. Student Cathy O ‘Sullivan presents and introduces fellow student Ada Egg Koskilouma who talks with Sunil Shah and Lou Mensah, to explore what absence means to them. Sunil Shah is an artist and curator based in Oxford, UK. He is interested in the politics of photographic representation and conceptual post-documentary practices with relation to history, memory and identity. Lou Mensah is a London based writer, photographer and the founder of Shade Podcast, a platform which hosts conversations with creative and radical thinkers on the politics of race and representation within the arts.

Péjú Oshin is the Associate Director of Gagosian Gallery and curator of the exhibition featuring work by nineteen contemporary artists who share a history of migration. explores the idea of “liminal space,” a coinage of anthropologist Arnold van Gennep (1873–1957). It is structured in correspondence with liminality’s three stages: separation, transition, and return. Each of these phases addresses the act of movement, not only through individual experience, but also in the broader context of community. The exhibition examines the status of postcolonial Black identity, specifically the “triple consciousness” experienced by members of the African diaspora when encountering counterparts who identify with local majority populations. Péjú shares the personal and professional journey behind curating this exhibition, plus the impact and legacy of BLM 2020 on her previous role as Curator of Young People's Programmes at Tate and beyond. We round up exploring the visible public positioning of a curator and how the contemporary media landscape informs working practices.

Smith would go on to be the first black woman photographer to be included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art. Smith has often described her work as ‘celebrating the struggle, the survival and to find grace in it.’ Many of Smith’s subjects were well-known black cultural figures from Nina Simone, Grace Jones and Alice Coltrane: all from her neighbourhood.
