“Cian Oba-Smith is an award-winning Irish-Nigerian photographer whose work is concerned with representing people who are often overlooked and places that are too frequently misrepresented. Whether capturing the little-known communities and the fringes of society of his native London, or recording sub-cultures around the world, Oba-Smith has a particular interest in exploring how the relationship between people, their environment and how they are represented, shapes their experience.”

“This lecture by Dr Nick Groom will introduce the poetry of Thomas Chatterton to a contemporary audience. Chatterton’s multi-facetted work runs from scathing satire to some of the earliest anti-slavery poetry ever written, and among his extraordinarily diverse writing are moments of insight that can help us think through the challenges and dilemmas of the twenty-first century.”
