In this edition of our Online Speak Session series, our museum host Shaquille Joy discusses the artwork ‘BLKNWS’ together with our good friend Lee Stuart (Brand director of Patta) and the incredible Justen Leroy (Creative director of BLKNWS, head of programming at the Underground Museum in LA and founder of SON.).

Amongst other topics, we talked about Black narratives, the role of music in representation, working with and through one’s local community, and the accessibility to art.

Tune in tonight at 19:00, and watch it on Facebook Live & Youtube!
