A Growth Class: Fostering Critical Dialogue | Session Two

Inspired by the ethos of collective and self-organised learning that enthuses Black feminist and queer movements, the two workshops facilitated by writer and art historian Aurella Yussuf will offer artists, writers, and culture workers a supportive environment for peer-to-peer exchange and meaningful, culturally aware feedback on their work, along with a platform for critical discussions on contemporary art.

The workshops are specifically for Black People and People of Colour who identify as women and/or LGBTQIA+.

A Growth Class is a collaboration between The Ignorant Art School at Cooper Gallery and CCA Glasgow. Sabrina Henry (Head of Programme, CCA Glasgow) and Sophia Yadong Hao (Director, Cooper Gallery) will participate in the supportive conversations at both sessions.

About the exhibition

Outside the Circle, is an exhibition and event programme inspired by and generated from feminist and queer movements since the beginning of the 20th century that foregrounds intersectional feminist and queer strategies of radical emancipation, resistance, survival, and collective action as critical and pedagogical ‘ruptures’ in our lived experience. It is the fourth iteration of ongoing programme, The Ignorant Art School: Five Sit-ins Towards Creative Emancipation.
