In Conversation: F N Souza in Focus
Join us for a special ‘In Conversation’ talk, as part of our ‘Global Connections’ series of events.
Professor Ann Sumner discusses the life and work of the Goan-born artist, Francis Newton Souza, with Dr Alice Correia, an independent curator, scholar and art historian whose research examines F N Souza’s interest in Christian imagery particularly looking at his Crucifixion pictures.
Dr Correia was part of the Transforming Collections: Reimagining Art, Nation and Heritage project at the Decolonising Arts Institute, University of the Arts, London. The three-year project sought to surface structural inequalities, biases and absences in public collections of modern and contemporary art across the UK. Correia’s work focused on when and how institutions acquired, displayed and interpreted works by artists of South Asian heritage.
