Conference - Haiti: 1804 and its afterlives

7-8th December 2012: The Space, Nottingham Contemporary

The Institute is pleased to collaborate with the arts centre Nottingham Contemporary in supporting its conference, ‘1804 and its afterlives’, being held in association with its exhibition Kafou: Haiti, Art and Vodou, which runs from 20 October 2012 to 6 January 2013.

The conference brings together international speakers whose path-breaking studies have challenged previous orthodoxies about the Haitian Revolution, its local and international repercussions, and its afterlives as inspiration for critical thought, cultural production and political change. The speakers include Emeritus Professor Dick Geary, former Director of ISOS.

Attendance is free, but please book your place via Nottingham Contemporary.
