| Description | File comprises letters from Professor Nick Stanley, director of research, Birmingham Institute of Art & Design, University of Central England in Birmingham, Corporation Street, Gosta Green, Birmingham, and Griselda Pollock, professor of social and critical histories of art and director of the Centre for Cultural Studies, Department of Fine Art, Centre for Cultural Studies, University of Leeds, Leeds; and two returned forms from Christopher Frayling, rector, Royal College of Art, and Margaret MacKeith, pro-vice-chancellor, University of Central Lancashire.
Pollock in her letter asks about the book 'Generations and geographies', which she edited and which features contribution by Himid. She is completing a chapter on Himid's series 'Revenge' and history painting for her next book. She hopes to write a book on Himid - she has tried Phaidon, and wants to approach Kala Press and Thames & Hudson ('who have done nothing for black women'). She concludes : 'I hope you're managing to keep up hope in these desperate times for education art & life'. |
