The Trouble with Research

This symposium with presentations on the theme ‘The Trouble with Research' is a celebration of the success of the recently created Stuart Hall Library Research Network.

Established in January 2013, the Research Network is a monthly meeting place for postgraduate researchers (artists, critics, curators) to present work that resonates with Iniva's vision for visual arts and international perspectives.

The day will include presentations which recognise research and creativity as a practice and process of questioning, problematising, critiquing culture and which engage with some the following areas:

- Stuart Hall's work on culture and representation
- Artistic and/or curatorial practice
- Filmmaking and media analysis
- Cultural histories - local and diasporic
- Literary Studies including criticism and theory
- Researching visual archives
- The relationship between contemporary visual art and cultural politics
