Artists’ Legacies in the Museum is a project run with the International Curators Forum and supported by Art Fund. The project will engage museum curatorial teams with the archives of Vanley Burke, Donald Rodney and Maud Sulter, to help recalibrate how institutions collect, share and preserve contemporary art and cultural heritage for future generations.
Museum participants will take part in three closed Study Days delivered by independent Curators, who are central to the art ecology we are proposing, with learnings from the project will be shared through short films, a public event and a toolkit on preserving the legacies of Black British Artists in the museum. This will be an iterative document which will evolve over time alongside new thinking, generations and climates.
