Speakers:

Dr Michael Morris, Liverpool John Moores University.
Michael Morris’ talk considers the dual role of the cultural sphere in overturning a widespread ‘collective amnesia’ about the slavery past.
He will discuss Graham Fagen’s exhibition in the context of a growing stream of novels, plays, documentaries and articles, which ask searching questions of Scotland’s imperial role.
