Book Signing: A Brief History of Black British Art
This event has passed.
A book signing at Pérez Art Museum Miami spotlights A Brief History of Black British Art with author and Caribbean Cultural Institute fellow Rianna Jade Parker.
Taking place Thursday, February 5, the program invites visitors to meet Parker and have copies of her book signed while engaging with a publication widely regarded as a foundational text on the contributions of Black artists to Britain’s art history. The book has been described by the Nakan Journal of Cultural Studies as “an essential read” for understanding Black British artistic production within a broader cultural and historical context.
The signing serves as an opening moment in an evening of programming presented through PAMM’s Green Family Foundation Caribbean Cultural Institute. At 7 p.m., the event continues with an art talk featuring British-Trinidadian artist Zak Ové as part of the Scholl Lecture Series, followed by extended museum hours to explore current exhibitions and the permanent collection. The night concludes with island-inspired music by Pressure Point on PAMM’s waterfront terrace.
Rianna Jade Parker is a writer, critic, historian and curator whose work has appeared in ARTnews, Artforum, The Guardian, Frieze, BOMB and Tate, among others. She is a contributing writer to Frieze, a contributing editor to Tate Publishing, and the author of A Brief History of Black British Art (Tate Publishing), with a second book forthcoming.
