James McCune Smith Network Launch featuring Vanley Burke
The University of Glasgow is launching the James McCune Smith Network to support a series of events featuring prominent Black speakers. Their first guest will be British photographer Vanley Burke.
About James McCune Smith Network Launch featuring Vanley Burke
Vanley has been called the godfather of Black British photography and he has been documenting Black Britain for over 50 years. Vanley's talk will be about his life as a 'left behind' child in Jamaica who then joined his parents in Britain in 1965. It will detail how he first became interested in photography and his subsequent attempts to document the lives and experience of Black people in Birmingham and beyond.
We hope you will join us for this FREE hybrid event which is being held in person at the University of Glasgow's Chapel and online as part of Black History Month.
