As part of Black History Month, the University of Glasgow Library presents, "Looking for Love in the Archives...", a talk by transdisciplinary artist Ashanti Harris. Ashanti will share some insights from her recent residency working with Theatre Studies and the University of Glasgow’s Archives & Special Collections to seek out the Black Histories held in the Scottish Theatre Archive.
“Looking for Love in the Archives…” proposes a “research romance” as a creative methodology for seeking the people, practitioners and performances to fall in love with.
This talk is part of the University of Glasgow Library Re:reading public programme. Re:reading is an exhibition in the Library entrance foyer which explores libraries and collections as dynamic collaborative spaces, where fresh insights can be uncovered through evolving scholarship, fresh analytical techniques and novel interpretations of collections.
