Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) was established in 1994 with government funding to address the imbalance in the representation of culturally diverse artists, curators and writers within cultural discourse in the UK at the time. Iniva now operates in a more globalised world where the meaning of diversity itself is endlessly shifting and changing.
Iniva continues to encourage new and unheard voices, creating space where the politics of race and representation can be explored. Tessa Jackson OBE, Chief Executive, will discuss the challenges and importance of museums and galleries exploring internationalism and alternative perspectives through exhibitions and collections.
